MS5541B (RoHS*)
MINIATURE 14 bar MODULE
• Integrated pressure sensor 6.2x6.4 mm
• Pressure range 0 - 14 bar (200 PSI)
• 15 Bit ADC
• 6 coefficients for a software compensation stored
on-chip

• 1 system clock line (32.768 kHz)
• Low voltage / low power
• RoHS-compatible & Pb-free*
DESCRIPTION
The MS5541B is the miniature version of the popular MS5535B pressure sensor module. It contains a precision
piezoresistive pressure sensor and an improved version of the 15 Bit Micropower Sensor interface IC known
from the MS5535B. Compared to the MS5535A the temperature range has been improved (-40 to +85°C).
Other improvements concern the ESD sensitivity, current consumption and converter accuracy. In addition to
this the MS5541B is from its outer dimensions compatible to the MS54xx series of pressure sensors. It uses an
antimagnetic polished stainless steel ring for sealing with O-ring. The sensor provides 15 Bit pressure and
temperature data via a 3 wire serial interface that can be easily interfaced with 4 Bit low power microcontrollers.
64 Bit of factory programmed PROM provides calibration data for a highly accurate pressure and temperature
calculation. The MS5541B is fully software compatible to the MS5535B and MS5535A.
