Product details
Overview
MPXV4006G7U from Freescale Semiconductor is a monolithic silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric 0.2–4.7 V analog output over a 0–6 kPa (0–0.87 psi) gauge pressure range, operates from 4.75–5.25 V supply, consumes ≤10 mA, and maintains ±5.0% full-scale span accuracy across –10°C to +60°C ambient. It is used in microcontroller-based airflow, HVAC, and medical device monitoring where low-pressure differential sensing is required.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV4006G7U datasheet, MPXV4006G7U pinout, MPXV4006G7U application, or MPXV4006G7U equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial and embedded system design.
Technical Context
The MPXV4006G7U integrates a shear-stress strain gauge with thin-film metallization and bipolar processing on a single die. Its signal chain includes two gain stages, ground reference shift circuitry, and on-chip temperature compensation optimized for 10°C to 60°C operation.
It is ratiometric to supply voltage (VS), with transfer function Vout = VS × [(0.1533 × P) + 0.045] ± 5% VFSS. The device requires auto-zeroing post-installation to achieve specified accuracy due to mechanical stress sensitivity, and is qualified for dry air media only.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage | 0.2–4.7 V - ratiometric to 5 V supply, enabling direct interface to 10- or 12-bit ADCs without external scaling. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and regulated microcontroller power domains. |
| Accuracy | ±5.0% VFSS - includes linearity, temperature hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, offset stability, TcSpan, and TcOffset over 10–60°C. |
| Sensitivity | 766 mV/kPa - enables high-resolution pressure detection with >1 mV/Pa resolution at 12-bit sampling. |
| Operating Temp | –10°C to +60°C - suitable for indoor industrial and consumer equipment, excluding under-hood automotive. |
| Max Pressure | 24 kPa - provides 4× overpressure margin beyond full scale, enhancing robustness in transient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
MPXV4006G7U uses the Case 482B-03 through-hole small outline package with 8 leads and stainless steel cap on the pressure (P1) side. Pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are internal no-connects; only pins 2 (VS), 3 (Gnd), and 4 (Vout) are externally accessible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 2 | Supply Voltage (VS) | 5 V ±0.25 V input powering both sensing element and signal conditioning circuitry; ratiometric reference for output. |
| Pin 3 | Ground (Gnd) | Analog ground reference for internal amplifiers and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system AGND. |
| Pin 4 | Output Voltage (Vout) | Analog output proportional to applied pressure; requires 0.01 µF decoupling capacitor per Freescale AN1646 recommendations. |
| Pins 1,5,6,7,8 | No Connect (N/C) | Internally bonded but not routed to external circuitry; must remain unconnected to avoid performance degradation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature compensation | Stabilizes offset and span across 10°C–60°C without external thermistor networks or software correction. |
| Factory-calibrated full-scale span | Eliminates need for end-of-line calibration in production; reduces test time and fixture complexity. |
| Dual-stage gain architecture | Provides stable 4.6 V full-scale output with low noise and minimal drift over life and temperature. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar pressure transducer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV4006G6U | Same die, Case 482-01 surface-mount package; identical electrical specs and calibration. | Requires SMT reflow assembly instead of through-hole insertion; footprint differs (no lead forming). | Select MPXV4006G6U when board space is constrained and automated assembly is available. |
| MPXV5004GC7U | Wider 0–4 kPa range, higher 0.2–4.7 V output, same 8-pin through-hole package (Case 482C-03), but with axial port. | Designed for ported configurations; P1 side identified by port location rather than stainless steel cap. | Choose MPXV5004GC7U when mechanical integration requires an axial pressure port and lower full-scale range suffices. |
Compared with MPXV4006G7U, MPXV4006G6U offers identical performance in a surface-mount form factor requiring PCB layout revision, while MPXV5004GC7U provides a ported mechanical interface and reduced pressure range-both require validation of mounting stress effects on zero offset.

FAQ
What is the pressure media compatibility of the MPXV4006G7U?
The MPXV4006G7U is qualified and characterized for dry air only. Exposure to other media-including moisture, oils, or corrosive gases-may degrade long-term reliability and accuracy. Freescale's internal qualification testing was performed exclusively with dry air; media tolerance data for alternate fluids must be requested directly from NXP (formerly Freescale) application engineering support. Always verify chemical compatibility before deployment in non-dry-air environments.
Does the MPXV4006G7U require external zero calibration?
Yes, the MPXV4006G7U requires auto-zeroing after mechanical installation to achieve its specified ±5.0% VFSS accuracy. External stresses-including PCB flexure, mounting torque, and thermal expansion-shift the zero-pressure output. Autozeroing involves capturing the Vout value at zero differential pressure post-mount and subtracting it digitally in firmware. This step is mandatory per Freescale AN1646 and cannot be omitted for production-grade accuracy.
What is the correct orientation for mounting the MPXV4006G7U?
The MPXV4006G7U must be mounted with the stainless steel cap side (P1) exposed to the pressure source and the opposite side (P2) open to ambient or reference pressure. Per Freescale's Pressure (P1)/Vacuum (P2) Side Identification Table, MPXV4006G7U uses Case 482B, where the stainless steel cap identifies the pressure side. Mounting inverted compromises sensitivity, linearity, and long-term stability due to diaphragm stress asymmetry.
Can the MPXV4006G7U operate outside its specified temperature range?
The MPXV4006G7U has a rated operating temperature range of –10°C to +60°C. While storage is rated to –30°C to +100°C, operation outside the –10°C to +60°C range voids accuracy specifications and may cause irreversible offset drift or gain error. No characterization data exists for extended temperature operation, and Freescale explicitly states that performance parameters apply only within the stated ambient range.
What decoupling is recommended for the MPXV4006G7U power supply?
Freescale recommends a 1.0 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitor from VS to GND, plus a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel, placed as close as possible to pins 2 and 3. An additional 470 pF capacitor from Vout to GND is advised for noise filtering when interfacing with high-speed ADCs. These values are specified in Figure 3 of the MPXV4006G Rev 6 datasheet and are critical to suppress supply ripple and output noise that would otherwise degrade measurement resolution.
