Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3195 Vacuum Click Board, NXP MPXV6115V Vacuum Sensor, I2C

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3195):

The Vacuum click is an accurate pressure sensor Click board capable of measuring pressure values down to -115kPa. This Click board utilizes a very precise, absolute pressure sensor from NXP, labeled MPXV6115V. This piezo-resistive transducer is an advanced monolithic pressure sensor, combining advanced MEMS manufacturing technologies with integrated signal processing, providing accurate readings of the vacuum percentage with very low drift over temperature. The sensor itself offers an analog voltage on its output pin, which linearly depends on the applied vacuum percentage. By utilizing the analog to digital converter, the Click board is able to output digital readings on the I2C pins, offering additional options for reading the sensor data. Ideal for monitoring vacuum percentage in various hydraulic or other devices that rely on a vacuum percentage for proper operation, such as vacuum pumps and braking assemblies. Key features include high measurement accuracy, low drift over temperature, a specially designed inlet port for simplified sealing in applications, and very linear vacuum percentage readings, available in 12-bit format over I2C or via the buffered analog pin.
