Product details
Overview
MPXV5010GC6U from NXP Semiconductors is a gauge pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric analog output (0.2–4.925 V) over 0–10 kPa full-scale range at 5 V supply, features ±5.0% accuracy across 0° to 85°C, and uses a patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge for stable performance in HVAC and respiratory systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV5010GC6U datasheet, MPXV5010GC6U pinout, MPXV5010GC6U application, or MPXV5010GC6U equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOT1854-1), confirmed pin functions (VS, GND, VOUT), real-world error bands (±0.5 kPa max pressure error), and two validated alternative parts for gauge-pressure sensing in microcontroller-based embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MPXV5010GC6U integrates a monolithic silicon piezoresistive sensing element with thin-film temperature compensation circuitry and dual-stage gain amplification - all on a single die. Its transfer function is defined as Vout = VS × (0.09 × P + 0.04) ± 5.0% VFSS, where P is pressure in kPa and VS is supply voltage.
It operates exclusively in gauge configuration with a single pressure port (P1 side identified by attached port per Case 482A), requires no external calibration, and relies on fluorosilicone gel isolation to protect the die while transmitting pressure signals. The device is qualified for use with dry air only; media compatibility must be confirmed separately.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–10 kPa full-scale gauge pressure - supports low-range liquid level and airflow monitoring in appliances and medical devices. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.2–4.925 V at VS = 5.0 V - ratiometric output enables direct A/D interfacing without external reference scaling. |
| Accuracy | ±5.0% of full-scale span (VFSS) over 0° to 85°C - includes linearity, temperature hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset contributions. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 Vdc - tightly regulated 5 V rail required; decoupling (1.0 µF + 0.01 µF + 470 pF) mandatory per Figure 11. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10% to 90%) - suitable for dynamic pressure tracking in respiratory waveform capture and process control loops. |
| Operating Temperature | –40° to +125°C - wide ambient range allows deployment in industrial enclosures and automotive cabin environments. |
| Package | SOT1854-1 (Case 482A) - surface-mount plastic small-outline package, 8-terminal, 2.54 mm pitch, 10.67 × 10.67 × 12.96 mm body. |
Pinout & Package
SOT1854-1 package: thermoplastic (PPS) surface-mount housing with fluorosilicone gel-isolated die, axial port on P1 side (identified by attached port per Table 7), and 8-pin layout optimized for reflow soldering (Figure 29).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad connection permitted. |
| 2 | VS | 5 V supply input - requires local decoupling per Figure 11; not internally current-limited. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must tie directly to system AGND plane with low-inductance path. |
| 4 | VOUT | Analog output (0.2–4.925 V) - drives ≤10 kΩ load; output filtering recommended before A/D sampling. |
| 5–8 | No connect | All four pins are internally unconnected - must be left open; no routing or thermal relief required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip signal conditioning | Integrated amplifier and offset/gain stage eliminate need for external op-amps or trimming resistors in basic implementations. |
| Temperature compensation | Factory-trimmed thin-film network achieves ±5.0% VFSS accuracy over 0°–85°C without software correction. |
| Gauge pressure configuration | Single-port design referenced to ambient pressure - simplifies mechanical mounting and eliminates differential hose routing. |
| Patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge | Monolithic diaphragm structure minimizes hysteresis and long-term drift versus traditional piezoresistive elements. |
| Durable SMT packaging | Epoxy-unibody construction with PPS thermoplastic case withstands vibration, thermal cycling, and humidity in industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5010GC7U | Same SOT1854-1 package, identical electrical specs, but Case 482C marking and alternate port orientation per Table 7. | Identical use cases; differs only in mechanical port alignment - requires board layout verification if replacing MPXV5010GC6U. | Select when mechanical integration requires vertical port placement per Figure 6; electrically interchangeable with no firmware change. |
| MPXV5010GP | SOT1693-3 package (12.06 × 12.06 × 7.62 mm), same 0–10 kPa range and ±5.0% accuracy, but larger footprint and different pin 1 location. | Better suited for prototyping or through-hole-compatible layouts; less space-constrained than SOT1854-1. | Choose for manual assembly or legacy board compatibility; requires PCB redesign due to different package outline and pinout. |
Compared with MPXV5010GC6U, MPXV5010GC7U offers identical performance in a mechanically distinct variant requiring port alignment validation, while MPXV5010GP provides the same sensing capability in a larger, more accessible SMT package that eases hand-soldering but increases board area usage.

FAQ
What is the maximum rated pressure for MPXV5010GC6U?
The MPXV5010GC6U has a maximum pressure rating of 40 kPa (Table 5). However, its specified full-scale operating range is limited to 0–10 kPa gauge pressure. Operation beyond 10 kPa may cause output saturation or nonlinearity, though the device remains undamaged up to 40 kPa per absolute limiting values.
Does MPXV5010GC6U require external calibration?
No, MPXV5010GC6U does not require external calibration. It is factory-calibrated and temperature-compensated, delivering a ratiometric analog output (Vout = VS × (0.09 × P + 0.04)) with ±5.0% VFSS accuracy over 0° to 85°C. No trimming or software correction is needed for baseline operation.
What is the correct power supply decoupling for MPXV5010GC6U?
The MPXV5010GC6U requires the decoupling network shown in Figure 11: 1.0 µF (bulk), 0.01 µF (mid-frequency), and 470 pF (high-frequency) capacitors between VS and GND, placed as close as possible to pins 2 and 3. Omitting this network violates recommended operating conditions and degrades accuracy and noise performance.
Can MPXV5010GC6U be used with media other than dry air?
No - MPXV5010GC6U qualification and reliability testing were performed exclusively with dry air as the pressure medium. Use with other gases or liquids may degrade long-term stability or damage the fluorosilicone gel isolation. Media compatibility must be confirmed directly with NXP before deployment in non-dry-air applications.
How is the pressure port oriented on MPXV5010GC6U?
Per Table 7, the MPXV5010GC6U (Case 482A) identifies its Pressure (P1) side by the attached port. This side contains the fluorosilicone gel and must face the measured pressure source. The vacuum (P2) side is ambient-exposed and must remain unobstructed for proper gauge reference.
