Freescale’s MPxx5004 series piezoresistive transducer is a state-of-the-artmonolithic silicon pressure sensor designed for a wide range of applications, butparticularly those employing a microcontroller or microprocessor with A/D inputs.This sensor combines a highly sensitive implanted strain gauge with advancedmicromachining techniques, thin-film metallization, and bipolar processing toprovide an accurate, high level analog output signal that is proportional to theapplied pressure.
