Description
The MLX90240 is a discrete micromachined pressure sensor IC suitable for pressure ranges between 0 to 350mBar. The pressure medium must be dry and non-corrosive, such as air. The 90240 is packaged in a plastic/ceramic package, (CA) or can be ordered as unpackaged die (UD) The principal of the circuit is a piezoresistive bridge which realized in silicon through a special micromachine process. As pressure is applied to the bridge, a differential voltage change is seen across the VOUT pins, while a bias voltage is applied to the VEXC pins. The M.
