TE Sensor Solutions MS5540C Miniature Barometer Module

TE Sensor Solutions MS5540C Miniature Barometer Module is a precision SMD-hybrid device featuring a piezoresistive pressure sensor and an ADC-Interface IC. The MS5540C barometer module offers a pressure range from 10mbar to 1100mbar, delivering a 16-bit data word from pressure and temperature-dependent voltages. This MS5540C module features gel protection that ensures water resistance, suitable for up to 100m in waterproof watches. The module utilizes a 3-wire interface for microcontroller communication and includes six on-chip coefficients for accurate software calibration. Typical applications include adventure or multi-mode watches, GPS receivers, mobile altimeter/barometer systems, and weather control systems.
