DESCRIPTION
The RSC Series is a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor
offering a digital output for reading pressure over the
specified full scale pressure span and temperature range. It
is calibrated and temperature compensated for sensor offset,
sensitivity, temperature effects, and non-linearity using a
24-bit analog-to-digital converter with integrated EEPROM.
Pressure data may be acquired at rates between 20 and 2000
samples per second over an SPI interface. It is intended for
use with non-corrosive, non-ionic gases, such as air and other
dry gases, designed and manufactured according to ISO
9001 standards, and is REACH and RoHS compliant.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Enhances performance: Output accelerates performance
through reduced conversion requirements and direct
interface to microprocessors. Proprietary Honeywell
technology combines high sensitivity with high burst
and over pressure while providing industry leading
stability (performance factors difficult to achieve in the
same sensor), providing flexibility in implementation and
minimizing requirements for protecting the sensor without
sacrificing ability to sense very small changes in pressure.
• Cost-effective, high volume solution with a variety of
options.
• Enhances reliability: High burst pressures promote system
reliability, minimize downtime, and can simplify design.
High working pressures allow ultra-low sensors to be used
continuously above the calibrated pressure range.
• Easy to design in: Package is small when compared to many
similar sensors, occupying less area on the PCB. Port and
housing options simplify integration. Wide pressure range
simplifies use.
• Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.1 Moisture Sensitivity
Level 1 requirements: Allows avoidance of thermal and
mechanical damage during solder reflow attachment
and/or repair that lesser rated sensors would incur, allows
unlimited floor life when stored as specified (simplifying
storage and reducing scrap), eliminates lengthy bakes prior
to reflow, and allows for lean manufacturing due to stability
and usability shortly after reflow.
• Energy efficient: Reduces system power requirements and
enables extended battery life.
FEATURES
• Pressure range: ±1.6 mbar to ±10 bar | ±160 Pa to ±1 MPa |
±0.5 inH2O to ±150 psi; absolute range 1 bar to 8 bar |
15 psi to 150 psi
• Pressure types: Absolute: internal vacuum reference and
an output value proportional to absolute pressure; Gage:
referenced to atmospheric pressure and provide an output
proportional to pressure variations from atmosphere;
Differential: allows measurement of pressure between the
two pressure ports
• Total Error Band: As low as ±0.25 %FSS depending on
pressure range (after auto zero)
• Accuracy: ±0.1 %FSS BFSL (Full Scale Span Best Fit Straight Line)
• Compensated temperature range: -40ºC to 85ºC [-40ºF to 185ºF]
• Power consumption: Less than 10 mW, typ.
• Size: Miniature 10 mm x 12,5 mm [0.39 in x 0.49 in] package
• Output: 24-bit digital SPI-compatible
• Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.1 Moisture Sensitivity
Level 1 requirements
DIFFERENTIATION
• Industry-leading long-term stability: Minimizes system
calibration needs and significantly reduces downtime.
• Industry-leading accuracy: Reduces software to correct
system inaccuracies, which minimizes design time, helps
improve efficiency, and often simplifies development.
• Industry-leading flexibility: Modular design with many
package styles and options simplify integration.
• Total Error Band: Provides true performance over the
compensated temperature range, which eliminates the
need to test and calibrate every sensor, thereby reducing
manufacturing cost. Improves system accuracy and offers
ease of sensor interchangeability due to minimal part-topart variation (see Figure 1 on page 3).
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Medical: Airflow monitors, anesthesia machines, blood
analysis machines, gas chromatography, gas flow
instrumentation, hospital room air pressure, kidney dialysis
machines, nebulizers, pneumatic controls, respiratory
machines, sleep apnea equipment, spirometers, ventilators
• Industrial: Barometry, drones, flow calibrators, gas
chromatography, gas flow instrumentation, HVAC clogged
filter detection, HVAC systems, HVAC transmitters, indoor
air quality, life sciences, pneumatic control, VAV (Variable
Air Volume) control, weather balloons
