NPA 201 Pressure Sensor

Amphenol Advanced Sensors’ NPA 201 is an absolute pressure sensor with digital output for low-cost applications

Image of Amphenol Advanced Sensors' NPA 201 Pressure SensorAmphenol Advanced Sensors introduces NovaSensor® NPA 201, which is an absolute pressure sensor with digital output for low-cost applications. Its low power consumption and compact size makes it ideal for battery powered and mobile applications or any application where size is a constraint. In today’s growing market for portable electronics and wearables with multiple parameters being measured there are many applications that require an accurate measurement of barometric pressure to determine factors such as altitude.

Digital compensation of the signal offset, sensitivity, temperature, and non-linearity is accomplished via an 18-bit internal digital signal processor (DSP) running a correction algorithm. Calibration coefficients are stored on-chip in highly reliable, nonvolatile, multiple-time programmable (MTP) memory.
