Product details
Overview
MPX5010GSX from NXP Semiconductors is a gauge pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric analog output (0.2–4.925 V) over 0–10 kPa full-scale range at 5 V supply, ±5.0% accuracy (0° to 85°C), and operates from –40° to +125°C. It is used in hospital bed position sensing, HVAC static pressure monitoring, and respiratory system differential pressure feedback.
For engineers reviewing the MPX5010GSX datasheet, MPX5010GSX pinout, MPX5010GSX application, or MPX5010GSX equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use-value per application, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences - all specific to MPX5010GSX's unibody SMT package and gauge configuration.
Technical Context
The MPX5010GSX integrates a monolithic silicon piezoresistive sensing element with thin-film temperature compensation circuitry and dual-stage gain amplification. Its patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge enables stable output across –40° to +125°C, while on-die calibration eliminates external trimming components.
It operates as a ratiometric device: output voltage scales linearly with supply voltage (4.75–5.25 V), and its transfer function is defined as VOUT = VS × (0.09 × P + 0.04) ± 5.0% VFSS. Pins 4–6 are no-connects, confirming a 3-terminal active interface (VOUT, GND, VS) within its unibody epoxy package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-scale pressure range | 0–10 kPa - supports low-pressure medical and appliance sensing without over-range saturation |
| Output voltage range | 0.2–4.925 V at VS = 5.0 V - directly interfaces 10- to 12-bit microcontroller ADCs without scaling |
| Accuracy | ±5.0% VFSS over 0° to 85°C - includes linearity, TCOffset, TCSpan, hysteresis, and variation from nominal |
| Operating temperature | –40° to +125°C - enables deployment in automotive cabin modules and industrial control enclosures |
| Supply current | 5.0 mA typical - allows battery-powered portable devices to achieve >1-year runtime on coin cells |
| Response time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - captures rapid pressure transients in respiratory airflow or pump cycling |
| Warm-up time | 20 ms - ensures stable readings within one MCU sampling interval after power-on |
Pinout & Package
Durable epoxy unibody surface-mount package (SOT1852-1, Case 867B-04), 17.78 mm × 29.47 mm × 8.01 mm body, 6-terminal layout with 2.54 mm pitch. Pins 4–6 are no-connects; only three pins are electrically active.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Analog output pin delivering ratiometric voltage proportional to applied gauge pressure |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for both supply and output; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 | VS | 5 V ±0.25 V supply input; requires 1.0 µF + 0.01 µF decoupling per Figure 11 |
| 4 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 6 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB |
Key Features

Applications
| Hospital Bed Position Sensing | HVAC Static Pressure Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting mattress inflation/deflation state and patient weight distribution via air chamber pressure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gauge pressure transducer providing analog feedback to MCU-based bed controller. Use Value: ±5.0% VFSS accuracy ensures reliable detection of 0.5–8 kPa pressure shifts corresponding to clinical positioning thresholds. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift gauge sensor interfacing with HVAC controller ADC at 10 Hz sampling. Use Value: 1 ms response time enables real-time closed-loop control; ratiometric output rejects supply ripple from shared 5 V rail. |
| Respiratory System Airflow Feedback | Washing Machine Water Level Detection |
Use Scenario: Monitoring inspiratory/expiratory pressure differentials in portable ventilators and CPAP devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential-capable gauge sensor (P1 side exposed, P2 vented) feeding pressure waveform data to safety-critical MCU. Use Value: –40° to +125°C operating range supports sterilization cycles; fluorosilicone gel protects die during humidified gas exposure. |
Use Scenario: Inferring water level in drum by measuring air pressure in sealed tube connected to tub base. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cost-optimized gauge transducer replacing mechanical float switches in consumer appliance control boards. Use Value: Durable epoxy unibody package withstands vibration and condensation; 0.2 V minimum output avoids ADC zero-crossing ambiguity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5010GC7U | Small-outline plastic package (SOT1863-1), 8-pin, same 0–10 kPa range and ±5.0% accuracy but with media-resistant fluorosilicone gel encapsulation | Required where humidity, condensation, or chemical exposure exceeds unibody epoxy limits - e.g., embedded in wet compartments | Select MPXV5010GC7U when environmental sealing is critical; MPX5010GSX remains optimal for dry, mechanically stable mounting |
| MPVZ5010GW7U | Media-resistant gel variant in ultra-small SOT1691-1 package (10.67 × 10.67 × 12.96 mm), identical pressure range and accuracy, but rated for harsher fluid contact | Used in direct-contact liquid-level or pneumatic valve monitoring where gel isolation prevents die corrosion | Choose MPVZ5010GW7U only if media compatibility testing confirms dry air is insufficient; MPX5010GSX offers lower cost and simpler layout for standard ambient sensing |
Compared with MPXV5010GC7U and MPVZ5010GW7U, the MPX5010GSX provides identical pressure performance in a larger, cost-optimized unibody package ideal for mechanically protected, dry-environment applications - avoiding unnecessary gel encapsulation overhead where not required.

FAQ
What is the pressure type and port configuration of the MPX5010GSX?
The MPX5010GSX is a gauge pressure sensor with a single axial port that measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure. Its P1 side (marked side) accepts applied pressure, while the P2 side is vented to atmosphere. This configuration is explicitly defined in Table 7 of the datasheet for MPX5010GP - the unibody variant sharing the same case (867B) and pinout as MPX5010GSX.
Does the MPX5010GSX require external calibration or trimming components?
No, the MPX5010GSX does not require external calibration or trimming components. It features on-chip signal conditioning, factory calibration, and temperature compensation, delivering a known transfer function VOUT = VS × (0.09 × P + 0.04) ± 5.0% VFSS across 0° to 85°C - as specified in Table 6 and Figure 12 of the MPX5010-MPXV5010-MPVZ5010 datasheet Rev. 14.
What is the recommended decoupling network for the MPX5010GSX?
The recommended decoupling network for the MPX5010GSX consists of a 1.0 µF bulk capacitor, a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor, and a 470 pF filter capacitor connected between VS and GND, as shown in Figure 11 of the datasheet. This configuration suppresses supply noise and ensures stable operation within the ±5.0% VFSS accuracy specification.
Can the MPX5010GSX be used in differential pressure measurement?
The MPX5010GSX is configured as a gauge sensor and is not rated for true differential pressure measurement. While it can be mounted with P1 exposed and P2 vented to detect pressure differentials against ambient, it lacks dual isolated ports and is not characterized for bidirectional differential operation like MPX5010DP. For dedicated differential applications, MPX5010DP or MPXV5010DP should be selected.
What is the maximum pressure the MPX5010GSX can withstand without damage?
The MPX5010GSX has a maximum pressure rating of 40 kPa (Table 5, "Limiting values"), beyond which permanent damage or degradation may occur. Its operational full-scale range remains 0–10 kPa; operation above 10 kPa causes output saturation but does not immediately damage the device - however, sustained exposure above 40 kPa violates absolute maximum ratings and voids reliability guarantees.
