Product details
Overview
MPX5010GS from NXP Semiconductors is a gauge-configured, monolithic silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric analog output (0.2–4.925 V) over a 0–10 kPa full-scale range at 5.0 V supply, with ±5.0% accuracy across 0° to 85°C, and is used in HVAC airflow sensing and medical respiratory monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MPX5010GS datasheet, MPX5010GS pinout, MPX5010GS application, or MPX5010GS equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating parameters, and real-world use cases for microcontroller-based pressure measurement systems requiring stable analog output and industrial-grade media compatibility.
Technical Context
The MPX5010GS integrates a patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge with thin-film metallization and bipolar processing to generate a high-level analog voltage proportional to applied differential pressure. Its on-die circuitry includes two-stage gain amplification, ground-reference shift, and thin-film temperature compensation networks.
It operates ratiometrically with a 4.75–5.25 V supply, exhibits 1.0 ms response time (10%–90%), and maintains offset stability of ±0.5% VFSS after 1000-hour pulsed pressure/temperature cycling. The device requires external decoupling per Figure 11 (1.0 µF + 0.01 µF + 470 pF) for A/D interface compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–10 kPa full-scale differential pressure - defines usable input span for linear analog output generation |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.2–4.925 V at VS = 5.0 V - provides 4.725 V full-scale span compatible with 5 V ADC reference rails |
| Accuracy | ±5.0% VFSS over 0° to 85°C - includes linearity, temperature hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset contributions |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 Vdc - enables ratiometric operation where output scales linearly with supply variation |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - supports dynamic pressure monitoring in fast-cycling HVAC and respiratory control loops |
| Operating Temperature | –40° to +125°C - ensures functionality across industrial ambient conditions and internal system self-heating |
| Supply Current | 5.0 mA typical - allows low-power embedded designs without active current limiting |
Pinout & Package
Durable epoxy unibody surface-mount package (SOT1756-1 or SOT1852-1), 6-terminal layout with 2.54 mm pitch, 17.78 mm × 29.47–29.48 mm footprint, and axial port for industrial tubing connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Analog output voltage proportional to pressure; directly interfaces to 10–12-bit ADC inputs |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference for signal chain; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | VS | 5 V supply input; requires local decoupling per Figure 11 to meet accuracy and response specs |
| 4, 5, 6 | N.C. | No-connect terminals - must remain unconnected; floating or tied to GND degrades performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5010GP | Small-outline 8-pin SOT1693-3 package (12.06 × 12.06 × 7.62 mm); identical 0–10 kPa range and ±5.0% accuracy | Requires PCB redesign due to different footprint, pin count, and no-connect layout (pins 1,5–8 NC) | Select when board space is constrained and SMT reflow compatibility with SOP-8 is required |
| MPVZ5010GW7U | Media-resistant gel-filled SOT1691-1 package (10.67 × 10.67 × 12.96 mm); same pressure range but rated for aggressive fluids | Designed for wet-side media exposure (e.g., saline, oils); not interchangeable without fluid compatibility validation | Choose only when direct contact with non-dry-air media is required; otherwise over-specified and costlier |
Compared with MPX5010GS, MPXV5010GP offers smaller footprint but demands layout revision and different decoupling, while MPVZ5010GW7U adds media resistance at higher cost and size-neither is pin-compatible, and both require functional validation in target systems.

FAQ
What is the full-scale pressure range and output behavior of the MPX5010GS?
The MPX5010GS has a full-scale pressure range of 0–10 kPa (0–1019.78 mm H₂O). Its output voltage follows VOUT = VS × (0.09 × P + 0.04) ± 5.0% VFSS, yielding 0.2–4.925 V at VS = 5.0 V. The MPX5010GS saturates outside this range and is not specified for vacuum or negative pressure operation.
Is the MPX5010GS pin-compatible with other devices in the MPX5010 family?
No, the MPX5010GS is not pin-compatible with MPXV5010 or MPVZ5010 variants. It uses a 6-pin unibody package (SOT1756-1/SOT1852-1) with pins 1–3 assigned to VOUT/GND/VS and pins 4–6 as no-connects. In contrast, MPXV5010GP uses an 8-pin SOP with different pin assignments and NC locations, requiring PCB redesign.
What decoupling components are required for stable operation of the MPX5010GS?
The MPX5010GS requires the decoupling network shown in Figure 11: a 1.0 µF bulk capacitor, 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor, and 470 pF filter capacitor between VS and GND. This configuration suppresses supply noise and ensures the MPX5010GS meets its ±5.0% accuracy and 1.0 ms response time specifications under microcontroller load conditions.
Can the MPX5010GS be used with pressure media other than dry air?
NXP specifies the MPX5010GS for use with dry air only. Exposure to moisture, oils, or chemical vapors may degrade long-term reliability and accuracy. For non-dry-air media, NXP recommends the MPVZ5010 series (e.g., MPVZ5010GW7U) with fluorosilicone gel isolation. Using MPX5010GS with incompatible media voids performance guarantees and risks permanent damage.
What is the operating temperature range and how does it affect MPX5010GS accuracy?
The MPX5010GS operates from –40° to +125°C, with full accuracy (±5.0% VFSS) guaranteed over 0° to 85°C. Outside this range, offset and span drift increase per Figure 13's temperature error band; at –40°C or +125°C, multiplier factors rise to 3×, meaning error can reach ±15% VFSS. For designs requiring extended temperature accuracy, external compensation or calibration is necessary.
