All about
MEMS pressures
MEMS pressure sensors work on the principle of detecting mechanical variations and converting them into electrical signals. A typical sensor consists of a flexible membrane and integrated piezoresistive strain gauges. When pressure is applied, the membrane deforms, causing the resistance of the strain gauges to change. This variation is converted into an electrical signal proportional to the applied pressure.
The accuracy of MEMS pressure sensors is typically very high, often in the range of ±0,1% to ±0,5% of full scale, making them distinctive for applications where high accuracy is essential.
- Compact and lightweight: Their small size allows easy integration into portable devices and systems where space is limited.
- Low power consumption: Ideal for applications requiring low power consumption, such as portable devices.
- High precision and sensitivity: Offer very precise measurements and great sensitivity to pressure variations.
- Economic mass production: MEMS technology allows for mass production, including manufacturing costs.
- Reliability and durability: Designed to be sturdy and durable, they provide long life and stable performance.
MEMS pressure sensors work by measuring the change in resistance caused by the deformation of a flexible membrane under the effect of pressure. This variation in resistance is converted into an electrical signal proportional to the applied pressure.
To connect a MEMS pressure sensor:
- Position the sensor in a suitable location.
- fix the sensor securely to avoid any vibration or movement.
- Connect the electrical terminals following the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct polarity and electrical specifications.
- Calibrate the sensor initially and periodically to maintain accuracy.
- Test proper functioning by comparing measurements with known reference values.
