40 mV FULL SCALE SPAN
(TYPICAL)
The MPX2700 series device is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor providing a
highly accurate and linear voltage output — directly proportional to the applied pressure.
The sensor is a single monolithic silicon diaphragm with the strain gauge and a thin–film
resistor network integrated on–chip. The sensor is laser trimmed for precise span and
offset calibration and temperature compensation.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT versus APPLIED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
The differential voltage output of the X–ducer is directly proportional to the differential
pressure applied.
The output voltage of the differential or gauge sensor increases with increasing
pressure applied to the pressure side (P1) relative to the vacuum side (P2). Similarly,
output voltage increases as increasing vacuum is applied to the vacuum side (P2)
relative to the pressure side (P1). This sensor is designed for applications where P1 is
always greater than, or equal to P2.
