Product details
Overview
MPXV5100GC6U from NXP Semiconductors is a gauge pressure sensor with 0–100 kPa full-scale range, ratiometric analog output (4.5–4.8 V at 5 V supply), ±2.5% accuracy over 0–85 °C, and 1 ms response time. It integrates on-chip temperature compensation and is designed for direct interface to microcontroller A/D inputs in industrial and medical pressure monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPXV5100GC6U datasheet, MPXV5100GC6U pinout, MPXV5100GC6U application, or MPXV5100GC6U equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, small-outline package layout guidance, real-world use cases in pump control and patient monitoring, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The MPXV5100GC6U uses a monolithic silicon piezoresistive sensing element with thin-film metallization and bipolar processing. Its signal path includes two gain stages and on-chip temperature compensation circuitry that corrects both offset and span drift across 0–85 °C.
It operates ratiometrically with a 4.75–5.25 V supply, delivering a linear output voltage defined by VOUT = VS × (0.009 × P + 0.04), where P is pressure in kPa. The device features fluorosilicone gel isolation of the die and stainless steel metal cover for environmental protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–100 kPa gauge - supports standard atmospheric differential measurement up to ~14.5 psi. |
| Output Voltage | 0.088–0.313 V at 0 kPa; 4.587–4.813 V at 100 kPa (VS = 5.0 V) - enables direct ADC interfacing without amplification. |
| Accuracy | ±2.5% of full-scale span (VFSS) over 0–85 °C - includes linearity, temperature hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset contributions. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10% to 90% step response) - suitable for dynamic pressure events in motor control and fluid system feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V DC - ratiometric operation ensures output scaling tracks supply variations, simplifying power rail design. |
| Operating Temp | −40 to +125 °C ambient - rated for harsh industrial environments including white goods and engine bay proximity. |
| Sensitivity | 45 mV/kPa - provides high-resolution analog output for sub-kPa pressure resolution with 12-bit ADCs. |
Pinout & Package
MPXV5100GC6U uses an 8-lead small outline package (case 98ASB17757C), surface-mountable with side-port configuration. The pressure port is located on the side with the part marking; the P1 (pressure) side is identified by the port attachment per NXP's identification table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DNC | Internal connection - must remain unconnected to avoid performance degradation or damage. |
| 2 | VS | Positive supply input - requires local 0.01 μF + 1.0 μF decoupling per NXP recommended circuit. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be tied to clean system ground plane with low-impedance path. |
| 4 | VOUT | Analog output - delivers ratiometric voltage proportional to applied gauge pressure; drives 0.1 mA load. |
| 5–8 | DNC | Internal connections - no external connection permitted; floating or grounded pins violate specification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Piezoresistive silicon sensing element | Monolithic construction with micromachined diaphragm ensures long-term stability and repeatability in cyclic pressure applications. |
| On-chip temperature compensation | Corrects both offset and full-scale span drift across 0–85 °C, eliminating need for external calibration circuitry. |
| Ratiometric output | Output scales linearly with supply voltage, enabling robust operation with non-regulated or noisy 5 V rails common in embedded systems. |
| Fluorosilicone gel isolation | Protects wire bonds and die surface from moisture and chemical exposure while transmitting pressure accurately. |
| Stainless steel metal cover | Provides mechanical ruggedness and EMI shielding in industrial enclosures and medical housings. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5050GP | 50 kPa full-scale range, same 8-lead SO package, identical pinout and ratiometric transfer function. | Lower pressure range limits use to sub-atmospheric or low-differential applications (e.g., vacuum leak detection). | Select when system max pressure is ≤50 kPa and higher resolution per kPa is required. |
| MPX5100GP | Same 0–100 kPa range but in 6-lead unibody package (98ASB42796B); different footprint and port orientation. | Unibody construction offers higher media compatibility but requires larger PCB area and through-hole or specialized SMT reflow. | Choose for legacy designs using unibody layout or where fluorosilicone gel + epoxy encapsulation is preferred over small-outline metal cover. |
Compared with MPXV5100GC6U, MPXV5050GP trades full-scale range for improved resolution below 50 kPa, while MPX5100GP maintains identical pressure specs but demands different board layout and thermal management due to its unibody thermal mass and mounting method.

FAQ
What is the pressure port configuration of the MPXV5100GC6U?
The MPXV5100GC6U uses a side-port configuration in its 8-lead small outline package (case 98ASB17757C). The pressure port is located on the side with the part marking, designated as the P1 (pressure) side per NXP's identification table. This orientation allows direct mounting against gasketed surfaces or flexible tubing interfaces without requiring top-access ports.
Does the MPXV5100GC6U require external calibration?
No, the MPXV5100GC6U does not require external calibration. It integrates on-chip temperature compensation for both offset and full-scale span across 0–85 °C, and is factory-calibrated to deliver ±2.5% VFSS accuracy over that range. The ratiometric output (VOUT = VS × (0.009 × P + 0.04)) eliminates the need for precision voltage references in most microcontroller-based implementations.
Can the MPXV5100GC6U be used with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the MPXV5100GC6U is specified only for 4.75–5.25 V DC supply. Operation outside this range violates maximum ratings and invalidates accuracy, output voltage, and reliability specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider NXP's MPX5050 series or other 3.3 V-compatible pressure sensors - the MPXV5100GC6U must be powered from a dedicated 5 V rail.
What is the meaning of "DNC" pins on the MPXV5100GC6U?
"DNC" stands for "Do Not Connect." Pins 1 and 5–8 on the MPXV5100GC6U are internal device connections with no external functionality. Connecting them to ground, supply, or any signal trace will degrade performance or cause permanent damage. These pins must remain electrically floating and unattached in all PCB layouts and assembly processes.
Is the MPXV5100GC6U compatible with wet media such as water or saline?
The MPXV5100GC6U is qualified for use with dry air as the pressure medium. While its fluorosilicone gel and stainless steel cover provide environmental protection, NXP explicitly states that media other than dry air may adversely affect long-term reliability and performance. For water or saline contact, consult NXP's media compatibility documentation or select a sensor qualified for liquid media - the MPXV5100GC6U is not rated for direct wet-side exposure.
