The MPXM2202A from NXP Semiconductors is a high-precision, absolute pressure sensor designed for board-mount applications. It operates within a 0–29.01 PSI (200 kPa) range, with a maximum pressure rating of 58.02 PSI (400 kPa), ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. The sensor delivers a Wheatstone bridge output of 0–40 mV (at 10V supply), providing a linear and stable signal for accurate pressure measurement. Its temperature-compensated design minimizes drift, enhancing reliability across varying thermal conditions. Packaged in a 5MPAK tube, the device is optimized for surface-mount (SMD) assembly with gull-wing terminations, making it suitable for automated PCB production.
The MPXM2202A excels in industrial and embedded systems where precise pressure monitoring is critical:
While marked as obsolete, the MPXM2202A remains a viable choice for long-lifecycle designs or replacements in existing infrastructure. Its temperature stability, high accuracy, and no-port configuration distinguish it from similar sensors, particularly in compact, surface-mount applications. Engineers should evaluate alternative NXP offerings for new designs but may leverage this model for cost-effective, proven-performance solutions in legacy systems.
