Overview
The MPX5010DP is a state-of-the-art, dual-port, integrated silicon pressure sensor from NXP USA Inc. It is housed in a 6-pin SIP (Single In-Line Package) and is designed using advanced micromachining techniques, thin-film metallization, and bipolar processing. This piezoresistive transducer provides an accurate, high-level analogue output signal that is proportional to the applied pressure. The sensor is ideally suited for microprocessor or microcontroller-based systems and is compatible with industrial-grade tubing due to its modified axial port.
