SDPx108 Product Summary
The SDPx108 sensor family is a differential pressure
sensor for air based on the successful SDP1000/
SDP2000 sensor from Sensirion AG. The response time
of the SDPx108 has been optimized for medical
ventilation applications.
Mounted in a rugged, chemically inert PPS housing the
SDPx108 differential pressure sensors feature a unique
dynamic range, zero offset and unsurpassed long term
stability. This makes it an ideal fit for demanding yet cost
sensitive OEM applications in medical and HVAC
equipment.
The SDPx108 is fully RoHS compliant.
The SDPx108 is supplied with 5.0 V and provides a
0.25…4.0 V output. Although the output of the sensor is
analog, the internal linearization and temperature
Its leading performance is based on Sensirion’s proprietary
CMOSens® sensor technology which combines the sensor
element with amplification and A/D conversion on one
single silicon chip. The differential pressure is measured by
a thermal sensing element. In contrast to other thermal
differential pressure sensors only a very small amount of
air is required. This leads to a reliable operation even
under harsh conditions. In comparison to membrane and
piezo-resistive based sensors the SDPx108 differential
pressure sensors show an extended measurement range,
better offset stability and improved reproducibility even at
lowest pressure ranges. In addition the SDPx108 is robust
against pressure bursts and shows no sensitivity to the
mounting orientation.

This leads to the following correction factors:
2.1 Temperature Compensation
The SDPx108 differential pressure sensors feature a
sophisticated built-in temperature compensation circuit.
The temperature is measured on the CMOSens® chip by
means of a PTAT bandgap reference temperature
sensor. Its data is fed into a compensation circuit which
is also integrated on the CMOSens® sensor chip. No
external temperature compensation is therefore required.
2.2 Altitude Correction
The SDPx108 differential pressure transducers achieve
their unsurpassed performance by using a dynamic
measurement principle: An applied differential pressure
forces a small air flow through the SDPx108, which
measures this air flow.
The sensor signal is dependant on the ambient air
density. The temperature effect on density is
compensated by internal intelligence (see Paragraph
2.3). Effects on density due to a change of ambient
pressure, typically a change of altitude above sea level,
can be compensated using a correction factor according
to the following equation:
Dpeff = Dpsensor * Pcal / Pamb
Where Dpeff is the effective differential pressure, Dpsensor
the differential pressure indicated by the SDPx108, Pcal
the absolute pressure during calibration (966 mbar) and
Pamb the actual ambient absolute pressure.

Example:
The SDP1108 is used at 750 m above sea level. The
output of the SDP1108 shows 0.5 V, which
corresponds to Dpsensor = 33.3 Pa. Taking into account
the correction factor Pcal / Pamb = 1.04 the effective
differential pressure Dpeff is 33.3 Pa * 1.04 = 34.6 Pa.
Note:
In many medical and HVAC applications such as filter
monitoring, fan/ventilator control or air flow
measurement the described effect is actually
welcome since at the end the mass flow and not
volume flow is the effective value to control.

3.2 Soldering Instructions
The SDPx108 differential pressure sensors can be
wave soldered. Direct reflow soldering is not
recommended since it may affect the accuracy.
www.sensirion.com
If reflow soldering is required Sensirion recommends to
use an SMD connector (e.g. type Samtec SSM-103-LSV) and to mount the SDPx108 after soldering.

3.3 Connecting Hose
Sensirion recommends a hose with an inner diameter
of 3.18 to 3.8mm (1/8 to 3/20 inch). Due to the dynamic
measurement principle, a small air flow is required
(Figure 3) which leads to a dependence on the length
of the hose (Table 4). Tubes up to 1 m show less than
2 % error of the measured value (Table 4).
Table 4: Influence of the length of the connecting hose on
the accuracy (using 4 mm inner diameter). Deviation is
given in % of the measured value. Example SDP1108: a
500 Pa difference pressure is shown as 492.5 Pa when
using 1 m tube with 4 mm inner diameter.

Electrical Specifications
4.1 Power Supply
The SDPx108 differential pressure sensors require a
stable voltage supply of 5.0 V. The requirements for the
electrical supply are specified in Table 5.
The resistive load at the output pin should be larger
than 20 kOhm. The capacitive load at the output pin
must not be larger than 200 pF. If the design shows a
larger capacity at the output pin an additional resistor is
required in series at the output (e.g. 620 Ohm).
4.2 Voltage Output
The SDP1108 features a voltage output from 0.25 V to
4.0 V. An output voltage below 0.25 V indicates a
negative differential pressure (not calibrated).
