MPL3115A2: Xtrinsic Smart Pressure Sensor

Freescale's Xtrinsic MPL3115A2 provides highly precise pressure and altitude data with variable sampling rate capability. It has very low-power consumption, smart features and requires zero data processing for mobile devices, medical and security applications.

The Xtrinsic MPL3115A2 pressure sensor smart features include digital output, two interrupts for auto-wake, minimum/maximum threshold detection and autonomous data acquisition. MCU usage can be limited since the MPL3115A2 pressure sensor can process sensor data locally, reducing communications required with the host processor.


Features


  • Less than 1 foot / 0.3 m resolution
  • Pressure range: 20 – 110 kPa
  • Compensated, direct reading (software is not needed):
  • 20-bit pressure measurement (Pascals)
  • 20-bit altitude measurement (meters)
  • 12-bit temperature measurement
  • On-board intelligence
  • Flexible sampling rate up to 128 Hz

Energy Efficiency Quick Facts


  • Auto wake and sleep mode enable the application to switch modes depending on activity level- activating interrupts
  • Adjustable and intelligent user controls allow the sample rate to be adjusted according to the environment for “intelligent contextual sensing”
  • Programmable functions allow user to specify conditions for waking a host processor via interrupts
  • Communication between sensor and host processor is minimized through smart FIFO functionality and intelligent interrupts
  • Compensation and calibration of sensor data is enabled via local computation capability on the MPL3115A2 ASIC
