Product details
Overview
MPXV5004GC6U from Freescale is a monolithic silicon piezoresistive gauge pressure sensor with 0–3.92 kPa (0–400 mm H₂O) full-scale range, ratiometric 0.2 V/kPa sensitivity, ±2.5% VFSS accuracy with autozero over +10 °C to +60 °C, and 5.0 VDC supply. It delivers a temperature-compensated analog voltage output for microcontroller-based liquid level and differential pressure sensing in appliances.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV5004GC6U datasheet, MPXV5004GC6U pinout, MPXV5004GC6U application, or MPXV5004GC6U equivalent, this device is selected for low-range gauge pressure measurement where factory autozero, surface-mount compatibility, and dry-air media operation are required - especially in washing machine water level control and respiratory equipment interfaces.
Technical Context
The MPXV5004GC6U integrates a shear-stress strain gauge, on-chip thin-film temperature compensation circuitry, and signal conditioning onto a single die. Its transfer function is VOUT = VS × [(0.2 × P) + 0.2], with offset trimmed to 1.0 V typical at zero pressure and full-scale span of 3.92 V at 3.92 kPa under 5.0 V excitation.
It operates across 0 °C to +85 °C ambient, with maximum ratings of 16 kPa burst pressure and 10 mA supply current. The device uses fluorosilicone gel isolation and stainless steel cap construction for mechanical robustness, and is qualified for dry air media only - non-air media require factory validation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–3.92 kPa (0–400 mm H₂O) gauge; defines measurable differential pressure with P1 > P2 orientation. |
| Output Type | Analog voltage, ratiometric to supply; 0.75–1.25 V offset and 3.0–3.92 V full-scale span at 5.0 VS. |
| Accuracy | ±2.5% VFSS with autozero (100–400 mm H₂O, +10 °C to +60 °C); enables reliable threshold detection without external calibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 VDC; maintains ratiometric linearity and supports standard 5 V logic/system rails. |
| Operating Temp | 0 °C to +85 °C ambient; full performance specified from +10 °C to +60 °C with autozero applied. |
| Package | Small outline through-hole (Case 98ASB17757C); 8-pin, 10.54 × 10.54 × 12.70 mm body with port-attached P1 side identification. |
Pinout & Package
MPXV5004GC6U uses a small outline through-hole package (Case 98ASB17757C), thermoplastic PPS housing with stainless steel pressure port on the P1 side. Pin 1 is identified by notch or chamfered corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DNC | Internal connection; must remain unconnected to avoid mechanical stress or zero-shift error. |
| 2 | VS | 5.0 VDC supply input; requires 1.0 μF + 0.01 μF decoupling per datasheet Figure 4. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance and separate from digital ground if shared system. |
| 4 | VOUT | Ratiometric analog output (0.75–3.92 V); directly interfaces 10-bit+ ADC inputs of microcontrollers. |
| 5–8 | DNC | All internal connections; no external routing permitted to prevent zero drift or damage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature compensation | Compensates span and offset over +10 °C to +60 °C without external components, reducing BOM and layout complexity. |
| Factory autozero capability | Enables storage and subtraction of zero-pressure output during system startup, improving long-term zero stability in mounting-sensitive applications. |
| Dry-air media qualification | Validated for long-term reliability with dry air only; eliminates risk of gel degradation or drift when used within spec. |
| Monolithic silicon sensing element | Integrates strain gauge, compensation, and signal conditioning on one die - ensures matched thermal coefficients and repeatability. |
Applications
| Washing Machine Water Level | Respiratory Equipment Monitoring |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5004GC7U | Same die, identical electrical specs, but packaged in Case 98ASB17759C - through-hole variant with different port orientation and footprint. | Requires PCB layout change due to distinct mechanical dimensions and P1-side marking (port-attached vs. stainless steel cap). | Select when mechanical integration demands alternate port alignment or legacy board compatibility with 98ASB17759C footprint. |
| MPVZ5004GC6U | Media-resistant variant with fluorosilicone gel encapsulation; same pressure range, accuracy, and pinout, but rated for aggressive media including humid air. | Supports higher reliability in condensing or high-humidity environments where MPXV5004GC6U may drift over time. | Choose for respiratory or medical applications requiring extended media tolerance beyond dry air specification. |
Compared with MPXV5004GC6U, MPXV5004GC7U offers identical performance in a mechanically distinct through-hole package, while MPVZ5004GC6U adds fluorosilicone gel protection for humid or variable-media environments - neither is pin-compatible without layout revision, but both share the same signal chain design and autozero workflow.

FAQ
What is the pressure media compatibility of the MPXV5004GC6U?
The MPXV5004GC6U is qualified for dry air only. Using other media - including humid air, liquids, or gases containing contaminants - may degrade the fluorosilicone gel, cause zero drift, or reduce long-term reliability. For non-dry-air applications, the MPVZ5004GC6U variant is recommended, as it is explicitly rated for broader media tolerance including humid environments.
Does the MPXV5004GC6U require external calibration after soldering?
No, the MPXV5004GC6U features factory-trimmed temperature compensation and autozero capability. While mechanical stress from PCB flexure or mounting can shift zero output, the device supports system-level autozero - storing the zero-pressure reading at power-up and subtracting it from subsequent measurements. This eliminates need for post-solder calibration in most applications.
What is the meaning of "DNC" on pins 1 and 5–8 of the MPXV5004GC6U?
"DNC" stands for "Do Not Connect." Pins 1 and 5–8 are internal device connections with no external functionality. Connecting them to ground, supply, or any trace introduces mechanical stress on the die bond wires and can cause zero-point drift or permanent offset error. The datasheet explicitly prohibits routing or soldering to these pins.
Can the MPXV5004GC6U operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No - the MPXV5004GC6U is specified for 4.75–5.25 VDC supply only. At 3.3 V, output voltage falls below usable range (e.g., full-scale drops to ~2.6 V), and temperature compensation circuitry may not function within spec. For 3.3 V systems, consider NXP's newer KMA210 or MP3V5050 series, which support lower supply rails.
How is the pressure port oriented on the MPXV5004GC6U package?
The MPXV5004GC6U (Case 98ASB17757C) identifies its pressure (P1) side by the attached port - the side with the physical pressure inlet. This is confirmed in Table 4 of the datasheet. The opposite side (vacuum or reference side, P2) is sealed. Correct orientation is critical: P1 must face the measured medium, and P2 must remain at ambient or reference pressure.
