Product details
Overview
MPXV10GC7U from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon piezoresistive gauge pressure sensor with 10 kPa full-scale range, ratiometric voltage output, and uncompensated architecture requiring external temperature compensation. It delivers linear output (±1.0% VFSS linearity), operates from −40 °C to +125 °C, and features differential analog output for pneumatic control and medical diagnostics systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV10GC7U datasheet, MPXV10GC7U pinout, MPXV10GC7U application, or MPXV10GC7U equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to Case 482A-01, confirmed pin definitions, and validated alternative options for low-pressure sensing in industrial and medical embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MPXV10GC7U implements a single-element silicon shear-stress strain gauge integrated into a silicon diaphragm, eliminating thermal expansion mismatch errors common in bonded-gauge sensors. Its ratiometric output scales directly with supply voltage (3.0–6.0 VDC), enabling simplified signal conditioning when paired with matching ADC references.
It is configured as a gauge pressure sensor with P1 (pressure side) identified by the port-attached surface per Case 482A-01 mechanical outline. The device outputs differential analog voltage (±VOUT) across a 4-pin interface, with no internal compensation - requiring external circuitry for offset nulling and temperature correction over extended ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-Scale Pressure | 10 kPa - defines maximum measurable gauge pressure before nonlinear response or error exceeds specification. |
| Output Type | Differential analog voltage - requires instrumentation amplifier or differential ADC input stage for signal acquisition. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0–6.0 VDC - excitation voltage directly scales output span; operation outside this range induces self-heating error. |
| Full-Scale Span (VFSS) | 20–50 mV - raw unamplified output swing at 10 kPa; sets minimum required gain for 12-bit+ resolution systems. |
| Linearity Error | ±1.0% VFSS - end-point fit method; determines worst-case deviation from ideal linear transfer function across 0–10 kPa. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - specifies ambient range where electrical characteristics remain within datasheet limits. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - defines dynamic capability for transient pressure monitoring in fast pneumatic cycles. |
Pinout & Package
MPXV10GC7U is housed in the small-outline SOT1854-1 package (Case 482A-01), epoxy-unibody construction with port-attached P1 side identification. The 4-pin configuration supports differential analog output and is compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles per AN3150.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground for supply and output; must be low-impedance return path to minimize common-mode noise. |
| 2 | +VOUT | Positive output terminal of Wheatstone bridge; voltage increases with applied pressure on P1 side. |
| 3 | VS | Power supply input; ratiometric scaling means output voltage tracks VS changes proportionally. |
| 4 | –VOUT | Negative output terminal; completes differential pair - essential for rejecting supply and EMI noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge | Eliminates thermal expansion mismatch between gauge and diaphragm, improving baseline stability vs. bonded gauges. |
| Ratiometric output | Enables direct interfacing with ratiometric ADCs without separate voltage reference, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Gauge pressure configuration | Measures pressure relative to ambient atmosphere via P1 port; simplifies mounting in open-air systems like HVAC ducts or ventilators. |
| Low-cost uncompensated architecture | Allows system-level optimization of compensation networks - e.g., thermistor-based offset correction or microcontroller-based polynomial calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV10GC6U | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in date code and minor process revision - documented as direct replacement in Rev. 15 datasheet. | Same gauge pressure use cases; validated for identical PCB layouts and compensation networks. | Select MPXV10GC6U if MPXV10GC7U is unavailable - no design or layout changes required. |
| MPX10DP | Unibody thermoplastic (PPS) package (Case 344C-01); same 4-pin pinout but different mechanical footprint and P1-side marking convention. | Better suited for high-humidity environments due to PPS moisture resistance; requires board redesign for mounting and port alignment. | Choose MPX10DP only when environmental sealing or long-term humidity exposure dominates over footprint compatibility. |
Compared with MPXV10GC7U, MPXV10GC6U offers identical performance and drop-in replacement capability, while MPX10DP trades package robustness and media compatibility for non-interchangeable mechanical integration - making MPXV10GC6U the preferred functional alternative.

FAQ
What is the pressure type and measurement range of the MPXV10GC7U?
The MPXV10GC7U is a gauge pressure sensor with a full-scale range of 0–10 kPa (0–1.45 PSI). It measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure via its port-attached P1 side, and is not rated for absolute or differential configurations without external manifold adaptation. Its specified accuracy and linearity apply strictly within this 10 kPa range.
Does the MPXV10GC7U include built-in temperature compensation?
No, the MPXV10GC7U is an uncompensated sensor. It requires external temperature compensation circuitry - such as thermistor-based resistor networks or microcontroller-driven polynomial correction - to maintain accuracy across its −40 °C to +125 °C operating range. The datasheet references Application Note AN840 for proven external compensation topologies.
What package type and pin configuration does the MPXV10GC7U use?
The MPXV10GC7U uses the SOT1854-1 small-outline package (Case 482A-01) with four active pins: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = +VOUT, Pin 3 = VS, Pin 4 = –VOUT. Pins 5–8 are not connected. This 4-pin differential configuration is mechanically and electrically identical to MPXV10GC6U.
Can the MPXV10GC7U be used with a 5 V microcontroller ADC?
Yes - the MPXV10GC7U operates with supply voltages from 3.0 VDC to 6.0 VDC and provides ratiometric output, so pairing it with a 5 V supply and a ratiometric ADC (e.g., most SAR or sigma-delta converters with VREF tied to VS) ensures inherent rejection of supply variation. Its 20–50 mV full-scale span typically requires ≥100× gain for 12-bit resolution at 5 V.
Is the MPXV10GC7U still in production or discontinued?
The MPXV10GC7U was formally discontinued per NXP's MPX10 Rev. 15 datasheet (April 2021), which states "Removed the following discontinued part numbers throughout: MPXV10GC7U". However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and supports continuity programs including cross-reference validation to MPXV10GC6U for existing designs.
