Honeywell Sensing & IoT business unit has launched a new series of ultra-small digital pressure sensors, the MPR (MicroPressure Board Mount Pressure Sensor).

The medical and industrial fields require physical touch methods due to the characteristics of the work environment. The sensor primarily used in these cases is the piezoresistive pressure sensor.



Honeywell’s newly launched MPR series is an ultra-small piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor that provides digital output to measure pressure over a full-scale span and temperature range. Using an onboard Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), it enables correction and temperature compensation for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects, and nonlinearity within specific temperature ranges. The MPR series is a pressure sensor optimized for consumer and non-consumer medical devices and industrial applications.

The MPR series features an ultra-compact design that minimizes PCB installation space. Its plug-and-play functionality facilitates easy system connection and implementation. It minimizes auxiliary mounting requirements and improves system performance by connecting directly to the microprocessor.

In addition, it complies with the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.1 Moisture Sensitivity Level-1 standard and enhances system energy efficiency through low-power operation, thereby extending battery life. Since it provides performance within a compensated temperature range, there is no need to test and calibrate individual sensors, which can reduce costs and improve sensor accuracy.
