Product details
Overview
MPXV4006GP 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 differential pressure range, operates from 4.75–5.25 V supply, consumes ≤10 mA, and is housed in a surface-mount thermoplastic (PPS) package with side port for pneumatic interfacing - used in medical airflow monitoring, HVAC differential pressure sensing, and microcontroller-based respiratory devices.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV4006GP datasheet, MPXV4006GP pinout, MPXV4006GP application, or MPXV4006GP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and confirmed alternative parts for design-in and sourcing decisions.
Technical Context
The MPXV4006GP integrates a shear-stress strain gauge with thin-film metallization and bipolar processing to generate a high-level analog output directly proportional to applied differential pressure. Its on-die circuitry includes two-stage gain amplification, offset adjustment, and temperature-compensation networks optimized for 10°C to 60°C operation.
It is ratiometric to supply voltage (VS), with full-scale span (VFSS) of 4.6 V typical at 5.0 V excitation, ±5.0% VFSS total accuracy including linearity, hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset - requiring auto-zeroing post-installation to achieve specified accuracy due to mechanical stress sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0 to 6 kPa - supports low-pressure differential sensing in air-handling systems and medical breathing circuits. |
| Output Voltage | 0.2 to 4.7 V - ratiometric analog output compatible with 5 V ADC inputs without external scaling. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - tight excitation window ensures stable gain and offset performance across board-level tolerances. |
| Sensitivity | 766 mV/kPa - enables high-resolution pressure detection with ≥12-bit effective resolution at 6 kPa FS. |
| Accuracy | ±5.0% VFSS - error budget includes linearity, temp hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, and TcOffset over 10–60°C. |
| Operating Temp | −10°C to +60°C - suitable for indoor industrial and consumer environments, not extended automotive or outdoor use. |
| Max Pressure | 24 kPa - provides 4× overpressure margin before permanent diaphragm deformation or calibration shift. |
Pinout & Package
MPXV4006GP uses Case 1369-01: surface-mount thermoplastic (PPS) package with side-mounted pressure port and 8-pin leadframe. 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 | VS - Supply Voltage Input | Accepts 4.75–5.25 V DC; powers internal amplifier and compensation circuitry; requires local 1.0 µF + 0.01 µF decoupling per datasheet Figure 3. |
| Pin 3 | Gnd - Ground Reference | Analog ground return for signal chain; must be connected to clean system AGND with low-impedance path to minimize offset drift. |
| Pin 4 | Vout - Conditioned Analog Output | 0.2–4.7 V ratiometric output; connects directly to 12-bit+ ADC input; output impedance <100 Ω allows driving 51 kΩ load per spec. |
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 ambient-controlled applications. |
| Factory-calibrated full-scale span | 4.6 V typical at 5.0 V supply - reduces system-level calibration effort and enables plug-and-play integration with microcontrollers. |
| Side-port pneumatic interface | Case 1369 configuration - enables compact PCB layout with direct tubing attachment perpendicular to board plane. |
| Durable PPS thermoplastic housing | Resists moisture, solvents, and thermal cycling - suitable for long-term deployment in medical and HVAC enclosures. |
| Ratiometric output architecture | Output scales linearly with VS - maintains accuracy despite ±2.5% supply variation, simplifying power rail design. |
Applications
| Medical Respiratory Flow Sensing | HVAC Differential Pressure Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5004GC | 0–4 kPa range, 0.2–4.7 V output, same 8-pin SOP package but axial port (Case 482A); higher sensitivity (1000 mV/kPa). | Better resolution below 4 kPa; unsuitable for 6 kPa full-scale requirements without signal scaling. | Select when target pressure stays ≤4 kPa and higher mV/kPa gain improves ADC utilization. |
| SDX100G2 | 0–100 kPa range, 0.5–4.5 V output, 5 V supply, ±2% VFSS accuracy; DIP-8 package with dual ports. | Wider range and tighter accuracy, but larger footprint and no side-port geometry - incompatible with MPXV4006GP's PCB layout. | Choose for higher-pressure systems (>10 kPa) where accuracy and dual-port flexibility outweigh size constraints. |
Compared with MPXV4006GP, MPXV5004GC offers finer resolution at lower pressures but lacks 6 kPa headroom, while SDX100G2 supports broader pressure ranges and superior accuracy but requires board redesign due to different package and port orientation.

FAQ
What is the pressure port configuration of the MPXV4006GP?
The MPXV4006GP uses a side-port configuration in Case 1369-01 package, where the pressure inlet is located on the side edge of the thermoplastic housing - enabling direct tubing attachment parallel to the PCB surface. This differs from axial-port variants like MPXV4006GC6U and supports compact, low-profile mechanical integration in space-constrained designs.
Does the MPXV4006GP require external zero calibration after installation?
Yes, the MPXV4006GP requires auto-zeroing after mechanical mounting to achieve its specified ±5.0% VFSS accuracy. External stresses and orientation affect the zero-pressure output (0.100–0.430 V), so the system must store the measured Vout at zero differential pressure and subtract it digitally during operation - as defined in Note 5 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum supply current draw of the MPXV4006GP?
The MPXV4006GP draws ≤10 mA DC under all operating conditions, including full-scale pressure and maximum temperature (60°C). This value is specified in Table 2 as the absolute maximum supply current (IS), making it suitable for battery-powered or low-power microcontroller systems with tight current budgets.
Can the MPXV4006GP be used with media other than dry air?
No - the MPXV4006GP is qualified and characterized exclusively for dry air as the pressure medium. Use with other gases or liquids may degrade long-term reliability or cause calibration drift due to chemical interaction with the fluorosilicone gel die coat and stainless steel cap. Media compatibility testing must be requested separately from NXP (ex-Freescale).
What is the meaning of "ratiometric" in the MPXV4006GP output specification?
"Ratiometric" means the MPXV4006GP's output voltage scales linearly with its supply voltage (VS). For example, at 5.0 V supply, full-scale output is ~4.6 V; at 4.75 V, it drops proportionally to ~4.37 V. This preserves measurement accuracy even with supply rail variation, provided the ADC reference is tied to the same VS - eliminating need for precision voltage references.
