Pressure Sensors / Detectors / Transducers
Low Voltage Pressure Sensors offer multiple port configurations.
Press Release Summary:
Basic Low Voltage (BLV) and Basic Low Voltage Reference (BLVR) Series are based on CoBeam2(TM) Technology, which helps reduce package stress and improve position sensitivity. BLV utilizes single die technology, while BLVR utilizes dual die reference technology to reduce output offset or common mode errors. BLV and BLVR Series provide basic, uncompensated mV output and are respectively specified at 1.8 and 3.3 V excitation with 1 and 7 mW power consumption. Presure ranges span 1-30 in. H2O.
Original Press Release:
Basic Low Voltage Pressure Sensors
All Sensors has just announced a new line of Basic Low Voltage Pressure Sensors. The Basic Low Voltage Pressure Sensors boast increased energy efficiency and CoBeam2(TM) Technology. As a result these devices have reduced package stress, improved position sensitivity, and require significantly less supply voltage.
The new Basic Low Voltage Pressure Sensor product family consists of two product series, the Basic Low Voltage (BLV) Series and the Basic Low Voltage Reference (BLVR) Series. Both the BLV and BLVR are based upon All Sensors' CoBeam2(TM) Technology. CoBeam2 (TM) Technology helps reduce package stress as well as greatly improves position sensitivity when compared with competitive sensors. The BLV Series device utilizes single die technology while the BLVR Series utilizes dual die reference technology to reduce all output offset or common mode errors. The BLV and BLVR Series devices provide a high output signal at a low operating voltage. This is the result of an extremely sensitive sensing element capable of operating at low supply voltages. Lower operating voltages result in improved errors due to warm-up shift. The BLV and BLVR afford design engineers a new basic pressure sensor capable of low pressure measurement with improved energy efficiency. The BLV Series is available in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 inH2O pressure ranges. The BLVR Series is also available 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 inH2O pressure ranges.
Package Features
The sensors are offered in a PC board mountable package. Multiple port configurations are available including gage and differential devices.
Electrical Features
The BLV and BLVR employ All Sensors' CoBeam2(TM) Technology. Both devices provide a basic, uncompensated mV output. The BLVR Series device employs a dual die reference technology to reduce all output offset or common mode errors. The BLV Series device is specified at 1.8 volt excitation with 1mW power consumption. The BLVR (dual die) is specified at 3.3 volt excitation with 7 mW power consumption. Low operating voltage offers increased energy efficiency.
Applications
Ideal applications for this device are; portable devices, battery operated devices, remote sensing, HVAC, and industrial controls.
