Product details
Overview
MPXV10GC6U from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon piezoresistive gauge pressure sensor with 10 kPa full-scale range, ratiometric voltage output (20–50 mV span at 3 V supply), ±1.0 %VFSS linearity, and operating temperature range of −40 °C to +125 °C. It delivers linear analog output directly proportional to applied differential pressure (P1 > P2) and is used in pneumatic control systems requiring low-cost, uncompensated sensing with external signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV10GC6U datasheet, MPXV10GC6U pinout, MPXV10GC6U application, or MPXV10GC6U equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and confirmed alternative options for pressure-sensing designs requiring 10 kPa range, SOT1854-1 packaging, and dual-output analog interface.
Technical Context
The MPXV10GC6U implements a single-element silicon shear-stress strain gauge integrated into a silicon diaphragm, eliminating thermal expansion mismatch errors common in bonded gauges. Its ratiometric output scales linearly with supply voltage (3.0–6.0 VDC), enabling direct interfacing with ADCs referenced to the same supply.
It operates exclusively in gauge configuration (P1 side exposed to pressure, P2 side vented to ambient), with pressure-side identification confirmed as "side with port attached" per Case 482A-01 mechanical drawing. Output is differential (+VOUT and –VOUT), requiring instrumentation amplifier or precision resistor network for single-ended conversion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-Scale Pressure Range | 0–10 kPa gauge - defines maximum measurable pressure before nonlinear error exceeds specification. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–6.0 VDC - ratiometric operation requires stable excitation; output scales proportionally within this range. |
| Full Scale Span (VFSS) | 20–50 mV - differential output swing at full pressure; determines minimum detectable pressure resolution with given gain. |
| Linearity Error | ±1.0 %VFSS (end-point method) - worst-case deviation from ideal straight-line transfer function across 0–10 kPa. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - specifies functional range for biasing, output stability, and reliability without derating. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - time to settle after step pressure change; enables real-time monitoring in fast pneumatic cycles. |
| Offset Voltage | 0–35 mV at 0 kPa - zero-pressure output baseline; must be nulled or compensated in signal chain. |
| Overpressure Limit | 75 kPa - maximum transient pressure before permanent calibration shift or mechanical damage occurs. |
Pinout & Package
MPXV10GC6U uses the SOT1854-1 package (Case 482A-01), an 8-pin small-outline surface-mount housing with ported gauge pressure interface on one side. Four pins are active; remaining four are no-connect terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground for supply and output; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 | +VOUT | Positive output terminal of Wheatstone bridge; voltage increases with applied pressure on P1 side. |
| 3 | VS | Excitation supply input; powers internal piezoresistive bridge and sets output scale factor. |
| 4 | –VOUT | Negative output terminal; completes differential pair; required for common-mode rejection in instrumentation amps. |
| 5–8 | n.c. | No internal connection; electrically isolated; may be left unconnected or grounded per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge | Eliminates thermal expansion mismatch between gauge and diaphragm, reducing inherent temperature-induced offset drift. |
| Ratiometric output | Output voltage scales linearly with VS, allowing shared reference between sensor and ADC to reject supply ripple and tolerance errors. |
| Differential analog output | Provides common-mode noise immunity and higher effective resolution than single-ended outputs when paired with instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Gauge pressure configuration (P1 > P2) | Enables direct measurement of pressure relative to ambient atmosphere; P1 side identified by port attachment per Case 482A-01. |
| Uncompensated architecture | Permits custom external temperature compensation and signal conditioning, giving designers full control over accuracy vs. cost trade-offs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX10D | Same 10 kPa range and pinout (4-pin), but in unibody thermoplastic (PPS) package (Case 344-15); lacks ported configuration. | Requires external pressure porting; less suitable for direct hose/barb integration than MPXV10GC6U's built-in port. | Select MPX10D only when board-level sealing and surface-mount simplicity outweigh need for integrated porting. |
| MPXV7002DP | Higher 2 psi (13.8 kPa) range, compensated output (0.2–4.7 V), 8-pin SOIC package; includes on-chip temperature compensation. | Delivers ready-to-use analog output without external circuitry; not pin-compatible and requires different PCB layout. | Choose MPXV7002DP when system-level calibration effort must be minimized and 13.8 kPa range suffices. |
Compared with MPX10D and MPXV7002DP, the MPXV10GC6U uniquely combines ported gauge configuration, SOT1854-1 footprint, and uncompensated flexibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where external compensation is already part of the signal chain.

FAQ
What is the pressure port configuration of the MPXV10GC6U?
The MPXV10GC6U is a gauge pressure sensor with a ported configuration: the Pressure (P1) side is identified as the side with the physical port attached, per Case 482A-01 mechanical drawing. The Vacuum (P2) side is vented to ambient atmosphere, enabling measurement relative to local barometric pressure. This configuration is explicitly defined in Table 8 of the MPX10 datasheet and applies solely to the MPXV10GC6U variant.
Does the MPXV10GC6U require external temperature compensation?
Yes, the MPXV10GC6U is an uncompensated sensor: its output exhibits temperature-dependent offset and full-scale span drift (TCVoff = ±15 μV/°C; TCVFSS = −0.22 to −0.16 %VFSS/°C). External compensation-using resistive networks or microcontroller-based algorithms-is required for stable performance across −40 °C to +125 °C. Application Note AN840 documents proven methods for this purpose.
What is the meaning of "n.c." on pins 5 through 8 of the MPXV10GC6U?
Pins 5–8 of the MPXV10GC6U are designated "n.c." (no connect) in Table 2 of the datasheet, confirming they have no internal electrical connection to the die or bond wires. These terminals are electrically isolated and may be left floating, grounded, or tied to ground for mechanical stability-none affects sensor operation. This is specific to the MPXV10GC6U in Case 482A-01 and differs from 4-pin variants like MPX10D.
Can the MPXV10GC6U measure absolute pressure?
No, the MPXV10GC6U is strictly a gauge pressure sensor. It measures differential pressure between the ported P1 side and ambient-referenced P2 side. Absolute pressure measurement would require a sealed vacuum reference cavity, which the MPXV10GC6U does not contain. Datasheet Section 9.4 and Table 1 confirm MPXV10GC6U is classified under "Gauge" pressure type-not Absolute or Differential.
What is the maximum overpressure the MPXV10GC6U can withstand without damage?
The MPXV10GC6U has a specified overpressure limit of 75 kPa (Table 6), defined as the maximum pressure differential (P1 > P2) that can be applied without causing permanent calibration shift or mechanical failure. Exceeding this value risks irreversible diaphragm deformation or bond wire fatigue. Burst pressure is rated at 100 kPa, but operation beyond 75 kPa is outside guaranteed specifications.
