General Description
The MLX90815 discrete micromachined absolute pressure sensors has been designed for an optimal performance when sensing pressures from 0 to 10..30 bar absolute. This device is fully automotive qualified. It can directly be used in non corrosive/non aggressive media applications. For harsh media, the MLX90815 can be used in a fluid filled module design. The sensor is a piezoresistive wheatstone bridge on a membrane made with a silicon micromachining process. As pressure is applied on the membrane a differential voltage change is seen across the Wheatstone bridge outputs while a bias voltage is applied to the bridge inputs.
