NXP Semiconductors MPXV2202GC6U

Overview

MPXV2202GC6U from Freescale Semiconductor is a gauge-pressure silicon piezoresistive sensor with on-chip temperature compensation and factory calibration, delivering 25 mV full-scale output at 10 V supply across 0–10 kPa range, ratiometric to supply voltage, and designed for respiratory diagnostics and air movement control systems.

For engineers reviewing the MPXV2202GC6U datasheet, MPXV2202GC6U pinout, MPXV2202GC6U application, or MPXV2202GC6U equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (Case 1369-01), confirmed pin configuration (Style 1: GND/VOUT+/VS/VOUT−), calibrated offset stability (±0.5%VFSS), and validated alternatives for differential pressure sensing in medical and industrial control designs.

Technical Context

The MPXV2202GC6U integrates a monolithic silicon diaphragm with laser-trimmed piezoresistive strain gauges and thin-film resistor networks for precision span/offset calibration and temperature compensation over –40°C to +125°C. Its ratiometric output ensures proportional response to supply voltage variation.

Designed as a gauge-pressure sensor, it features two ports: P1 (pressure side, marked side) and P2 (reference/vacuum side), with silicone gel isolation protecting die and wire bonds while transmitting pressure signal. Output voltage increases linearly with applied differential pressure (P1 > P2) at 2.5 mV/kPa sensitivity.

FAQ

What is the pressure type and port configuration of MPXV2202GC6U?

The MPXV2202GC6U is a gauge-pressure sensor with two ports: P1 (pressure side, identified by the marked side per Case 1369-01 marking convention) and P2 (reference side, vented to ambient). It measures differential pressure between P1 and atmospheric pressure, not absolute or sealed-reference pressure. This configuration is confirmed in Freescale's MPX2010 family documentation and applies directly to MPXV2202GC6U as a variant within the MPXV2010 series.

Does MPXV2202GC6U require external temperature compensation?

No, MPXV2202GC6U includes on-chip temperature compensation circuitry laser-trimmed during manufacturing, ensuring specified performance over 0°C to +85°C without external components. Its temperature coefficients (TCVFSS ±1.0%VFSS, TCVOFF ±1.0 mV) are fully characterized and compensated internally, as documented in Table 1 of the MPX2010 datasheet applicable to MPXV2202GC6U.

What is the supply current consumption of MPXV2202GC6U at 10 VDC?

MPXV2202GC6U draws 6.0 mA typical supply current at 10 VDC, as specified in the "Supply Current" row of Table 1 in the MPX2010 datasheet. This value is consistent across the MPXV2010 series, including MPXV2202GC6U, and reflects total current for both bridge excitation and on-die compensation circuitry under nominal operating conditions.

Can MPXV2202GC6U be used with supply voltages other than 10 VDC?

Yes, MPXV2202GC6U operates across 10–16 VDC, though its output remains ratiometric to the applied supply. At 12 VDC, full-scale output scales to ~30 mV; at 16 VDC, to ~40 mV. The datasheet specifies 10 VDC as the test condition for published parameters (e.g., 25 mV VFSS), but functionality and linearity are maintained across the full range, with self-heating effects remaining within specification limits.

Is MPXV2202GC6U compatible with dry air only, or can it interface with other media?

MPXV2202GC6U is qualified and characterized using dry air as the pressure medium. Freescale explicitly states that media other than dry air may adversely affect long-term reliability and performance. For compatibility with moisture, oils, or aggressive gases, users must consult NXP (ex-Freescale) application engineering - no alternative media ratings are provided for MPXV2202GC6U in the official documentation.
