Product details
Overview
MPXM2102GS from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a gauge-pressure silicon piezoresistive sensor with on-chip temperature compensation, delivering 40 mV full-scale output at 10 V supply across 0–100 kPa range, used in medical diagnostics, pump/motor control, and level detection systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPXM2102GS datasheet, MPXM2102GS pinout, MPXM2102GS application, or MPXM2102GS equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to Case 1320A MPAK, pin-level circuit roles, real-world use value per application, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The MPXM2102GS implements a monolithic silicon diaphragm with integrated strain gauges and thin-film resistor network, laser-trimmed for span and offset calibration. Its ratiometric output scales linearly with applied pressure and excitation voltage, supporting stable analog interfacing without external amplification in many designs.
Operating over −40°C to +125°C, it features ±0.6%VFSS linearity (end-point method), ±0.1%VFSS pressure hysteresis, and on-chip temperature compensation covering 0°C to +85°C - enabling direct integration into industrial and automotive subsystems where ambient thermal drift must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–100 kPa gauge pressure - supports barometric, fluid level, and pneumatic actuation sensing up to ~14.5 psi. |
| Full Scale Output | 40 mV typical at 10 V supply - enables direct ADC input with ≥12-bit resolution using standard 3.3 V or 5 V reference systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 10 VDC nominal (6–16 VDC range) - ratiometric operation ensures output scaling remains proportional to supply, simplifying power rail design. |
| Supply Current | 6.0 mA typical - low quiescent draw allows battery-powered operation in portable diagnostic or IoT sensor nodes. |
| Linearity Error | ±0.6%VFSS (end-point method) - defines worst-case deviation from ideal linear transfer function across full pressure range. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10% to 90%) - supports dynamic pressure monitoring in motor control feedback loops and fast-acting pressure switches. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C operating - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial enclosures, and sterilizable medical equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MPXM2102GS uses the MPAK package (Case 1320A), a surface-mount, 4-pin, stainless-steel-capped housing with port attached to the side identified as Pressure (P1) side per Freescale documentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | GND | Ground reference for both supply and output - must be low-impedance to minimize common-mode error in differential output stage. |
| Pin 2 | −VOUT | Negative output terminal - forms differential pair with Pin 4; required for noise-rejecting instrumentation amplifier interfaces. |
| Pin 3 | VS | Positive supply input - accepts 6–16 VDC; device is ratiometric so output scales directly with this rail. |
| Pin 4 | +VOUT | Positive output terminal - delivers voltage proportional to pressure relative to Pin 2; output impedance 1400–3000 Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gauge pressure configuration | Single-port P1 side with atmospheric reference - eliminates need for vacuum reference line in HVAC, pump, or tank-level applications. |
| On-chip temperature compensation | Calibrated over 0°C to +85°C - reduces system-level temperature correction firmware or external thermistor compensation. |
| Laser-trimmed span and offset | Factory-set to ±1.0 mV offset and 38.5–41.5 mV full-scale - minimizes post-assembly calibration effort in high-volume production. |
| Differential analog output | True bipolar differential pair (Pin 2/4) - improves common-mode noise immunity in electrically noisy environments like motor drives. |
| MPAK surface-mount package | Case 1320A footprint - enables automated assembly and compact PCB layout vs. through-hole unibody alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge-pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV2102GP | Small-outline package (Case 1369), same 0–100 kPa range and 40 mV output, but single-ended output (VOUT/GND). | Requires single-ended ADC input; lacks differential noise rejection; smaller footprint but lower mechanical robustness. | Select when board space is constrained and EMI environment is benign; not drop-in due to pinout and output architecture change. |
| MPXM2102GST1 | Identical MPAK (Case 1320A) package and electrical specs, but supplied in tape-and-reel format instead of rail. | No functional difference; intended for automated SMT placement rather than manual or semi-automated assembly. | Select for high-volume production lines requiring pick-and-place compatibility; electrically and mechanically identical to MPXM2102GS. |
Compared with MPXM2102GS, MPXV2102GP trades differential noise immunity for compactness and single-ended simplicity, while MPXM2102GST1 offers identical performance in a different packaging format - making the latter a true form-fit-function match for volume manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the pressure type and range supported by the MPXM2102GS?
The MPXM2102GS is a gauge-pressure sensor with a specified range of 0–100 kPa (0–14.5 psi). It measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure using a single port (P1 side), and its stainless-steel cap and silicone gel isolation protect the die while transmitting pressure accurately. This range is validated per Freescale's MPX2102 datasheet Rev. 9 and applies specifically to the MPXM2102GS variant in Case 1320A packaging.
Does the MPXM2102GS require external temperature compensation?
No, the MPXM2102GS includes on-chip temperature compensation calibrated over 0°C to +85°C, reducing offset and span drift without external circuitry. Its TCVOFF is ±1.0 mV and TCVFSS is ±2.0%VFSS across that range, as confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet. Full operation extends to −40°C to +125°C, though compensation performance is specified only within the 0–85°C band.
What are the supply requirements for proper operation of the MPXM2102GS?
The MPXM2102GS operates with a supply voltage of 6–16 VDC, with 10 VDC being the nominal excitation point where full-scale output is specified at 40 mV. It draws 6.0 mA typical supply current. Because the device is ratiometric, output voltage scales linearly with supply voltage - meaning accuracy depends on stable excitation, not absolute regulation, simplifying power design in many applications.
How is the pinout of the MPXM2102GS configured, and what is the significance of Pin 1?
The MPXM2102GS uses a 4-pin MPAK package (Case 1320A) with Pin 1 designated as GND, Pin 2 as −VOUT, Pin 3 as VS, and Pin 4 as +VOUT. Pin 1 serves as the reference ground for both supply return and differential output - critical for minimizing common-mode error. Per Freescale's documentation, the Pressure (P1) side is identified by the port attached to the same side as Pin 1 in this package variant.
Can the MPXM2102GS be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the MPXM2102GS is rated for −40°C to +125°C operating temperature and qualified for industrial and automotive environments. Its stainless-steel cap, silicone gel isolation, and pressure hysteresis of ±0.1%VFSS support reliability in vibration-prone, thermally cycling locations such as engine bay pressure monitoring - provided the media is dry air or compatible gas, as stated in the datasheet's media compatibility guidance.
