Product details
Overview
MPXV4115V6U from Freescale Semiconductor is a monolithic silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric analog output (0.2–4.6 V) over a –115 to 0 kPa vacuum/gauge range, operates at 5.0 V supply, draws 6 mA typical current, and achieves ±1.5% full-scale accuracy across 0°C to 85°C - ideal for brake booster and vacuum pump monitoring in automotive microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV4115V6U datasheet, MPXV4115V6U pinout, MPXV4115V6U application, or MPXV4115V6U equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated package mapping (Case 482-01), confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases, and two documented alternative sensors with functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The MPXV4115V6U integrates a shear-stress strain gauge, thin-film metallization, and bipolar signal conditioning circuitry onto a single die. Its architecture includes dual gain stages, ground-reference shift circuitry, and on-chip temperature compensation optimized for 0°C to 85°C operation with a linear temp multiplier of 1.0 in that range.
It operates exclusively in differential mode with vacuum applied to the metal cap side (P2) and atmospheric pressure on the back side (P1), requiring dry air as the pressure medium. The device is ratiometric to supply voltage (4.75–5.25 V), exhibits 1.0 ms response time, and saturates outside its specified –115 to 0 kPa range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | –115 to 0 kPa vacuum/gauge range; defines usable differential input where output remains linear and calibrated |
| Output Voltage | 0.2 to 4.6 V DC; ratiometric to 5.0 V supply, enabling direct A/D interfacing without external scaling |
| Accuracy | ±1.5% of full-scale span at 25°C; includes linearity, temperature hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset errors |
| Sensitivity | 38.26 mV/kPa; enables precise pressure resolution down to ~26 Pa per LSB with 12-bit ADC at 5 V |
| Supply Current | 6.0 mA typical; supports low-power embedded designs with stable thermal dissipation |

Pinout & Package
Durable thermoplastic (PPS) surface-mount small outline package, Case 482-01, 8-pin configuration with pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 designated as no-connects. Pins 2, 3, and 4 are functional: VOUT, GND, and VS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 2 | VOUT | Analog output signal referenced to GND; 0.2–4.6 V ratiometric to VS, requires 470 pF filter per Figure 3 |
| Pin 3 | GND | Analog ground reference for signal chain; must be connected to system AGND with low-impedance path |
| Pin 4 | VS | Supply input (4.75–5.25 V); requires 1.0 µF + 0.01 µF decoupling per Figure 3 to meet electrical specs |
| Pins 1,5,6,7,8 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask bridging allowed |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar pressure transducer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5050VC6U | Wider range (0–50 kPa absolute), higher full-scale output (0.2–4.7 V), same Case 482A package but differential port orientation differs | Designed for positive-pressure applications (e.g., turbo boost), not vacuum/gauge; lacks –115 kPa capability | Select only if measuring positive differential pressure up to 50 kPa with identical PCB footprint constraints |
| MPXH6115AC6U | Same –115 to 0 kPa range and Case 482-01 package, but includes integrated ASIC for digital I²C output and self-test features | Requires I²C interface and firmware support; adds diagnostic capability but increases BOM and software overhead | Choose when system-level diagnostics, calibration traceability, or digital bus integration outweigh analog simplicity |
Compared with MPXV4115V6U, MPXV5050VC6U shifts measurement focus to positive pressure with different port geometry, while MPXH6115AC6U replaces analog simplicity with digital intelligence and built-in diagnostics - both require revalidation of mechanical mounting and signal chain design.

FAQ
What is the pressure media compatibility of the MPXV4115V6U?
The MPXV4115V6U is qualified for use with dry air as the pressure medium. Other media may adversely affect long-term reliability and performance. Freescale's internal qualification testing was conducted exclusively with dry air; media tolerance data for alternate fluids or gases must be obtained directly from NXP (ex-Freescale) factory support before deployment.
Does the MPXV4115V6U require external decoupling components?
Yes, the MPXV4115V6U requires external decoupling per Figure 3 in the datasheet: a 1.0 µF bulk capacitor and 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor on VS, plus a 470 pF capacitor on VOUT. Omitting these components violates the electrical specifications and risks output instability, noise susceptibility, and non-compliance with stated accuracy and response time.
How is the MPXV4115V6U calibrated and compensated?
The MPXV4115V6U undergoes full factory calibration and on-chip temperature compensation during manufacturing. Compensation covers linearity, temperature hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset across 0°C to 85°C. No user calibration or trimming is required - the device outputs a fully conditioned 0.2–4.6 V signal directly usable by a 5 V microcontroller ADC.
What is the meaning of "P1 side" and "P2 side" for the MPXV4115V6U?
For the MPXV4115V6U, the P1 side is the pressure side (marked side with part number), containing fluorosilicone gel protecting the die; the P2 side is the vacuum side (metal cap side). Operation requires P1 > P2 - i.e., vacuum applied to P2 while P1 is exposed to atmosphere - to achieve the specified –115 to 0 kPa range.
Can the MPXV4115V6U be used in absolute pressure mode?
No, the MPXV4115V6U is configured exclusively for vacuum/gauge differential operation. Its internal structure and calibration assume atmospheric pressure on the P1 side and vacuum on the P2 side. It does not support sealed absolute reference cavities or isolated absolute pressure measurement - attempting absolute use yields undefined output and invalidates all published specifications.
