Overview
The MPXM2102AST1 is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor manufactured by NXP USA Inc. This device is part of the MPX2102 series, known for its high accuracy and linear voltage output directly proportional to the applied pressure. The sensor features a single, monolithic silicon diaphragm with an integrated strain gauge and a thin-film resistor network, which is laser trimmed for precise span and offset calibration and temperature compensation. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring precise pressure measurement.
