The MPXx5050 series piezoresistive transducer is a state-of-the-artmonolithic silicon pressure sensor designed for a wide range of applications,but particularly those employing a microcontroller or microprocessor with A/Dinputs. This patented, single element transducer combines advancedmicromachining techniques, thin-film metallization, and bipolar processing toprovide an accurate, high level analog output signal that is proportional to theapplied pressure.
