Digital Output, SMT and DIP,
60 mbar to 10 bar
DESCRIPTION
The High Accuracy Silicon Ceramic (HSC) Series is a
piezoresistive plastic silicon pressure sensor offering a
ratiometric analog output for reading pressure over the
specified full scale pressure span and temperature range.
The HSC Series is fully calibrated and temperature
compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects,
and non-linearity using an on-board Application Specific
Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Calibrated output values for pressure
are updated at approximately 2 kHz.
The HSC Series is calibrated over the temperature range of
0 °C to 50 °C [32 °F to 122 °F]. The sensor is characterized for
operation from a single power supply of either 3.3 Vdc or
5.0 Vdc.

These sensors measure absolute, differential, and gage
pressures. The absolute versions have an internal vacuum
reference and an output value proportional to absolute
pressure. Differential versions allow application of pressure to
either side of the sensing diaphragm. Gage and compound
versions are referenced to atmospheric pressure and provide
an output proportional to pressure variations from atmosphere.
The HSC Series sensors are intended for use with noncorrosive, non-ionic working fluids such as air and dry gases.
They are designed and manufactured according to standards
in ISO 9001.

Notes:
1. Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits the device will withstand without damage.
2. Ratiometricity of the sensor (the ability of the device to scale to the supply voltage) is achieved within the specified operating
voltage for each option. Other custom supply voltages are available, please contact Honeywell Customer Service.
3. The sensor is not reverse polarity protected. Incorrect application of supply voltage or ground to the wrong pin may cause
electrical failure.
4. The compensated temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to
pressure within the specified performance limits.
5. The operating temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to
pressure but may not remain within the specified performance limits.
6. Accuracy: The maximum deviation in output from a Best Fit Straight Line (BFSL) fitted to the output measured over the
pressure range at 25 °C [77 °F]. Includes all errors due to pressure non-linearity, pressure hysteresis, and non-repeatability.
7. Total Error Band: The maximum deviation from the ideal transfer function over the entire compensated temperature and
pressure range. Includes all errors due to offset, full scale span, pressure non-linearity, pressure hysteresis, repeatability,
thermal effect on offset, thermal effect on span, and thermal hysteresis.
8. Full Scale Span (FSS) is the algebraic difference between the output signal measured at the maximum (Pmax) and minimum
(Pmin) limits of the pressure range. (See Figure 1 for ranges).
9. Life may vary depending on specific application in which sensor is utilized.

Notes:
11. The transfer function limits define the output of the sensor at a given pressure input. By specifying Pmin and Pmax, the output at
Pmin and Pmax the complete transfer function of the sensor is defined. See Figure 2 for a graphical representation of the transfer
function. Other transfer functions are available. Contact Honeywell Customer Service for more information.
12. The output type defines which protocol the sensor uses to communicate. Available protocols are I2C and half duplex SPI (slave
only). Communication protocol is not field-selectable and should be defined when ordering the sensor.
13. Custom pressure ranges are available. Contact Honeywell Customer Service for more information.
14. See Table 5 for an explanation of sensor types.

Description
Output is proportional to the difference between applied pressure and a built-in reference to vacuum.
Pmin is set at absolute zero pressure (full vacuum).
Output is proportional to the difference between applied pressure and atmospheric (ambient)
pressure. Pmin is set at -1 bar G, referenced to atmospheric pressure.
Output is proportional to the difference between the pressures applied to each port. (Port1 – Port2)
50% point of transfer function set at Port1 = Port2.
Output is proportional to the difference between applied pressure and atmospheric (ambient)
pressure. Pmin is set at atmospheric pressure.

Notes:
15. Overpressure: The maximum pressure which may safely be applied to the product for it to remain in specification once
pressure is returned to the operating pressure range. Exposure to higher pressures may cause permanent damage to the
product. Unless otherwise specified this applies to all available pressure ports at any temperature with the operating
temperature range.
16. Burst pressure: The maximum pressure that may be applied to any port of the product without causing escape of pressure
media. Product should not be expected to function after exposure to any pressure beyond the burst pressure.
17. Common mode pressure: The maximum pressure that can be applied simultaneously to both ports of a differential pressure
sensor without causing changes in specified performance.
