Overview
The PC28D series are high precision MEMS sensor family offers state-of-the-art pressure transducer technology to produce a digital output, fully conditioned, multi-order pressure and temperature compensated outputs. This series provides JEDEC standard SOIC-16 package with the dual vertical ports. It is available in differential, asymmetric differential configurations. With the dual ports, a reference measurement is possible to minimize errors due to changes in ambient pressure. Combining the pressure sensor with a signal-conditioning ASIC in a single package simplifies the use of advanced silicon micro-machined pressure sensors. The pressure sensor can be mounted directly on a standard printed circuit board, calibrated pressure signal can be acquired from the digital interface. This eliminates the need for additional circuitry, such as a compensation network or microcontroller containing a custom correction algorithm. This series is intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic working fluids such as air and dry gases.

Function descriptions |
General description
The PC28D series consists of a piezo-resistive sensor and a sensor interface I²C. The main function of the I²C is to convert the uncompensated analogue output voltage from the piezo-resistive pressure sensor to a 14-bit digital value, as well as providing a 11-bit digital value for the temperature of the sensor, and compensates them by a patented algorithm. The fully-compensated values can be read out by external MCU.
Factory calibration
Every sensor is individually factory calibrated for sensitivity and offset for both of the temperature and pressure measurements; further calibrations are not necessary to be done by the user.
Sensor output conversion
The sensor is programmed for the fastest update rate, conversions will continue to happen after the power-up sequence. Customer just needs to read sensor without other operations.
Serial interface
The PC28D provides I²C interface for serial communication.
