Product details
Overview
MPXV4006GC6T1 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, and is rated for -10°C to +60°C ambient operation. It is used in microcontroller-based airflow and vacuum sensing applications such as medical inhalers and HVAC duct monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV4006GC6T1 datasheet, MPXV4006GC6T1 pinout, MPXV4006GC6T1 application, or MPXV4006GC6T1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for differential pressure measurement in embedded systems requiring ±5% full-scale accuracy with auto-zero capability.
Technical Context
The MPXV4006GC6T1 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-die temperature compensation optimized for 10°C to 60°C operation.
It uses dry air as the specified pressure medium; non-air media may degrade long-term reliability. The transfer function is defined as Vout = VS × [(0.1533 × P) + 0.045] ± 5% VFSS, where P is differential pressure in kPa and VS is supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–6 kPa gauge - supports low-pressure differential sensing in medical and environmental control systems |
| Output Voltage | 0.2–4.7 V ratiometric - scales linearly with supply voltage; requires stable 5 V ±0.25 V excitation |
| Sensitivity | 766 mV/kPa typical - enables high-resolution detection of sub-100 Pa pressure changes |
| Accuracy | ±5% VFSS over 10–60°C - includes linearity, TcSpan, TcOffset, hysteresis, and offset stability contributions |
| Supply Current | ≤10 mA - compatible with low-power MCU subsystems without external regulation overhead |
| Operating Temp | -10°C to +60°C - suitable for indoor consumer and industrial equipment, not extended automotive or outdoor extremes |
| Max Pressure | 24 kPa absolute - defines overpressure survival limit before mechanical damage or calibration shift |
Pinout & Package
MPXV4006GC6T1 uses the Case 482A-01 small-outline surface-mount package (10.54 × 10.54 × 5.84 mm), featuring an axial port on the side with port attached and stainless steel cap on the P1 (pressure) side per Freescale's identification table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect | Internal device connection; must remain floating - grounding causes calibration error or damage |
| 2 | VS | Positive supply input (4.75–5.25 V); requires 1.0 µF + 0.01 µF decoupling per Figure 3 |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must tie directly to system AGND plane, separate from digital return |
| 4 | Vout | Ratiometric analog output (0.2–4.7 V); connects to MCU ADC input with optional RC filtering |
| 5–8 | No Connect | Internal connections; no external routing permitted - PCB layout must omit pads or traces |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature compensation | Validated over 10°C to 60°C - eliminates need for external thermistor or software correction in target operating range |
| Factory-calibrated offset and span | Delivers 0.100–0.430 V zero-pressure output and 4.6 V full-scale span - reduces system-level calibration effort |
| Differential pressure sensing architecture | P1 > P2 configuration with fluorosilicone gel isolation - enables accurate measurement of airflow or vacuum differentials |
| Thermoplastic (PPS) package with stainless steel cap | Robust mechanical housing rated for repeated pressure cycling - supports long-life deployment in portable devices |
| Ratiometric output | Vout proportional to VS - allows shared 5 V rail with MCU, improving noise immunity and simplifying power design |

Use Value: Delivers repeatable 0.2–4.7 V output down to 0 kPa with ≤10 mA supply current - avoids self-heating errors common in higher-power sensors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV4006GP | Same core die and specs, but in Case 1369-01 tray-packaged surface-mount package with side port | Requires different PCB footprint and port orientation; lacks tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly | Select MPXV4006GP only if manual assembly or tray-based SMT lines are used and side-port mechanical integration is preferred. |
| MPXV5004GC6U | Wider 0–4 kPa range, 0.2–4.7 V output, same 482A package, but ±2.5% VFSS accuracy and higher 15 mA supply current | Better accuracy and lower range suit precision lab instruments; higher current limits battery-powered use | Choose MPXV5004GC6U when ±2.5% VFSS is mandatory and power budget allows 15 mA draw - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MPXV4006GC6T1, MPXV4006GP offers identical performance in a different mechanical form, while MPXV5004GC6U trades range and power for tighter accuracy - selection depends on whether footprint, packaging, or error budget dominates the design constraint.

FAQ
What is the pressure media compatibility of the MPXV4006GC6T1?
The MPXV4006GC6T1 is qualified for use with dry air as the pressure medium. Freescale explicitly states that other media may adversely affect long-term reliability and performance. Internal qualification testing was conducted only for dry air; media tolerance data for alternate fluids or gases must be requested directly from NXP (formerly Freescale) factory support before deployment.
Does the MPXV4006GC6T1 require auto-zeroing, and why?
Yes, the MPXV4006GC6T1 requires auto-zeroing after mechanical installation to achieve its specified ±5% VFSS accuracy. External mechanical stress and mounting position affect the zero-pressure output reading. Auto-zeroing involves capturing the output voltage at zero differential pressure post-installation and subtracting it from subsequent readings - a step mandated in Note 5 of the datasheet to meet the published accuracy budget.
What is the meaning of "P1 > P2" for the MPXV4006GC6T1?
"P1 > P2" defines the operational polarity of the MPXV4006GC6T1 as a differential pressure sensor: P1 is the pressure side (identified by the stainless steel cap or port attachment depending on case), and P2 is the reference (vacuum) side. The device outputs a positive voltage only when pressure applied to P1 exceeds that on P2 - reverse differential pressure yields undefined or saturated output behavior.
Can the MPXV4006GC6T1 operate outside its -10°C to +60°C rating?
No - the MPXV4006GC6T1 is characterized and guaranteed only from -10°C to +60°C ambient temperature. While storage is rated to -30°C to +100°C, operation outside the specified range invalidates all performance parameters including offset, sensitivity, and accuracy. Extended temperature use requires validation per application note AN1646 and consultation with NXP support.
What decoupling is recommended for the MPXV4006GC6T1 supply pin?
Freescale recommends a dual-capacitor decoupling network on the VS pin: a 1.0 µF bulk capacitor and a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to pins 2 (VS) and 3 (GND). This configuration suppresses supply noise and prevents oscillation in the on-die amplifier stages, as shown in Figure 3 of the MPXV4006GC6T1 datasheet.
