*SM933X: Pressure ranges as low as 125 Pa*
SMI (Silicon Microstructures, Inc.) introduces the SM933X Series of ultra
low MEMS pressure sensor systems. The fully temperature compensated and
pressure calibrated sensor with pressure ranges as low as 125 Pa (0.50
inH2O) enables precise pressure sensing in HVAC, industrial and medical
applications. Industry leading output accuracy (1% FS) and long term
stability is achieved by combining SMI's proprietary MEMS pressure
transducer with a state-of-the-art signal-conditioning IC in one package.
The differential pressure sensor system is available in two configurations:
SM9333, with a pressure range of +/- 125 Pa (0.50 inH2O), and SM9336, with a
pressure range of +/- 250 Pa (1 inH2O). The total accuracy after board mount
and system level Autozero is less than 1%FS over the full compensated
temperature range of -20 to 85ºC. The 16 bit resolution provides the ability
to resolve signals as small as 0.0038 Pa. The excellent warm-up behavior and
long term stability further assures its expected performance over the life
of the part.
The system supply ranges from 3.0 to 5.5V and it is well suited for low
power applications with its low current consumption and available sleep
mode. The ASIC architecture and higher order noise filtering provides low
noise and extremely low EMI susceptibility.
The small SO16 package with dual vertical port allows for easy system
integration and pressure connection, while the MEMS sensor itself is robust
with high burst pressure and virtually no mounting or vibration sensitivity.
*Key applications: HVAC, CPAP and pressure transmitters*
The SM933X is the best solution for flow sensing applications, delivering
high performance regardless of the tubing length and is not affected by
particles in the airflow. It is versatilely applicable as an HVAC sensor, to
determine the air flow in variable air volume (VAV) systems and detection of
filter cleanliness in eg. air handling units (AHU).
In the medical market ultra low pressure sensors are used for CPAP flow
sensing. The integration and use in CPAP devices is eased by the
insensitivity of the sensor to the mounting orientation, its high resolution
and low noise performance. Furthermore the SM933X improves pressure
measurement in industrial applications, replacing costly, bulky equipment
consisting of several components with one single sensor system in a small
outline package and inherent long term stability. Key applications include
pressure transmitters and pressure switches.
"SMI has had a tradition of being on the cutting edge of MEMS low pressure
sensors dating back to the mid 90's. With the launch of the SM933X series,
the company looks to extend that leadership into its 3rd decade." says Omar
Abed, President and CEO of SMI. "We have received overwhelmingly positive
feedback from our lead customers. We are convinced that the launch of this
new product line will set the benchmark for ultra-low pressure sensors below
2 inH2O and usher in a new wave of innovation in medical and industrial flow
and ultra-low pressure applications."
