Pressure sensors with signal conditioning

Paul Boughton

Sensortechnics' new HCLA pressure sensors combine high-precision digital signal conditioning with innovative miniature package styles.

These sensors are suitable for ultra-low gauge or differential pressure measurements from 2.5-75 mbar.

The HCLA series utilises ASIC technologies to offer amplified analogue and digital I2C output signals. Additionally, SPI or switching outputs, as well as customer-specific outputs, are available on request.

HCLA sensors use a dual-chip compensation technique to achieve a very high offset stability and virtually no position sensitivity in comparison to conventional sensors. A 3 V supply voltage is available as an option (standard models use 5 V), making the HCLA pressure sensors suitable for portable applications.

A wide range of miniature single inline and SMT housing options allows for space-saving PCB-mounting and maximum OEM design flexibility. Sensortechnics' customisation service can provide very fast and flexible mechanical or electronic sensor modifications based on customer requirements.

Typical applications of the new HCLA pressure sensors include medical devices such as ventilators, respirators or anaesthesia machines, as well as environmental controls and heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications.
