What are the key features of the MPXA6115AC6U?
The MPXA6115AC6U is an absolute pressure sensor with a measurement range of 15 kPa to 115 kPa (2.18–16.68 PSI) and delivers a proportional analog output (0.2 V–4.7 V) that’s easy to interface with microcontrollers. It includes built‑in temperature compensation and calibration, offering stable readings across a wide temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) with good accuracy. The device is packaged in a durable surface‑mount package and is resistant to high humidity and common automotive fluids.
What is it used for?
This sensor is used to measure atmospheric or system pressure in applications such as automotive intake monitoring, HVAC control, medical devices, industrial automation, and portable environmental sensing. Its robust design and wide temperature tolerance make it suitable for both consumer and industrial systems requiring reliable pressure feedback.
Does it have alternative parts?
Yes. Similar absolute pressure sensors are available from other manufacturers and product lines, such as Bosch’s BMP series and Honeywell’s ABP series, as well as other NXP MPX family sensors with different pressure ranges. When selecting an alternative, ensure the pressure range, output type, accuracy, and environmental specifications match your design requirements.
