Miniature I2C digital barometer, 50 kPa to 115 kPa Rev. 10.1 — 17 May 2024 Product data sheet

1 General description

The MPL115A2 is an absolute pressure sensor with a digital I2C output targeting low-cost applications. A miniature 5 x 3 x 1.2 mm LGA package is ideally suited for the space constrained requirements of portable electronic devices. Low current consumptions of 5 μA during Active mode and 1 μA during Shutdown (Sleep) mode are essential when focusing on low-power applications. The wide operating temperature range spans from –40 °C to +105 °C to fit demanding environmental conditions. The MPL115A2 employs a MEMS pressure sensor with a conditioning IC to provide accurate pressure measurements from 50 kPa to 115 kPa. An integrated ADC converts pressure and temperature sensor readings to digitized outputs via a I2C port. Factory calibration data is stored internally in an onboard ROM. Utilizing the raw sensor output and calibration data, the host microcontroller executes a compensation algorithm to render Compensated Absolute Pressure with ±1 kPa accuracy. The MPL115A2 pressure sensor’s small form factor, low-power capability, precision, and digital output optimize it for barometric measurement applications.

7.1 Methods of handling

NXP Semiconductors MPL115A2 Miniature I2C digital barometer, 50 kPa to 115 kPa Vacuum pressure required to adequately support the component should be approximately 25 inches Hg (85 kPa). This level is typical of in-house vacuum supply. Pickup nozzles are available in various sizes and configurations to suit a variety of component geometries. To select the nozzle best suited for the specific application, NXP recommends that the customer consult their pick and place equipment supplier to determine the correct nozzle. In some cases, it may be necessary to fabricate a special nozzle depending on the equipment and speed of operation. Tweezers or other mechanical forms of handling that have a sharp point are not recommended since they can inadvertently be inserted into the vent hole of the device. These handling methods can lead to a puncture of the MEMS element that renders the device inoperable.

7.2 Board mount recommendations

Components can be mounted using solder paste stencil, screen printed or dispensed onto the PCB pads prior to placement of the component. The volume of solder paste applied to the PCB is normally sufficient to secure the component during transport to the subsequent reflow soldering process. Use of adhesives to secure the component is not recommended, but where necessary can be applied to the underside of the device. Solder pastes are available in variety of metal compositions, particle size, and flux types. The solder paste consists of metals and flux required for a reliable connection between the component lead and the PCB pad. Flux aids the removal of oxides that may be present on PCB pads and prevents further oxidation from occurring during the solder process. The use of a No-Clean (NC) flux is recommended for exposed cavity components. Using pressure spray, wire brush, or other methods of cleaning is not recommended since it can puncture the MEMS device and render it unusable. If cleaning of the PCB is performed, Water Soluble (WS) flux can be used. NXP recommends protecting the component cavity using adhesive Kapton tape, vinyl cap, or other means prior to the cleaning process. This covering prevents damage to the MEMS device, contamination, and foreign materials from being introduced into device cavity as result of cleaning processes. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended as the frequencies can damage wire bond interconnections and the MEMS device.

8.2 Compensation

8.3 Evaluation sequence, arithmetic circuits

The following is an example of the calculation for Pcomp, the compensated pressure output. Input values are in bold. c12x2 = c12 * Tadc a1 = b1 + c12x2 a1x1 = a1 * Padc y1 = a0 + a1x1 a2x2 = b2 * Tadc Pcomp = y1 + a2x2 This can be calculated as a succession of Multiply Accumulates (MACs) operations of the form y = a + b * x: aaa-044109 a y+ b X x The polynomial can be evaluated (Equation 1) as a sequence of 3 MACs: c12 Tadc Padc b2 PComp Tadc y aaa-044110 Refer to NXP application note AN3785 for more detailed notes on implementation.

8.4 I2C device read/write operations

All device read/write operations are memory mapped. Device actions, for example, Start Conversions, are controlled by writing to the appropriate memory address location.

For I2C, the 7-bit device address (from Table 2) has a read/write toggle bit, where the least significant bit is ‘1’ for read operations or ‘0’ for write operations. The Device Address is C0h for a Write and the Device Address is C1h for a Read. MPL115A2 All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © 2024 NXP B.V. All rights reserved. Product data sheet Rev. 10.1 — 17 May 2024

The most significant bit in the Command tables below is not used and is don't care (X). In the examples given, it is set to ‘0’.

13 Soldering

Use SAC solder alloy, Sn-Ag-Cu, with a melting point of about 217 °C. NXP recommends using SAC305,

Ramp up rate: 2 °C/s to 3 °C/s.
Preheat flat (soak): 110 s to 130 s.
Reflow peak temperature: 250 °C to 260 °C (depends on exact SAC alloy composition).
Time above 217°C: 40 s to 90 s (depends on board type, thermal mass of the board/quantities in the reflow).
Ramp down: 5 °C/s to 6 °C/s.
Using an inert reflow environment (with O2 level about 5 ppm to 15 ppm). Note: The stress level and signal offset of the device also depends on the board type, board core material, board thickness, and metal finishing of the board. Refer to NXP application note AN3150, Soldering Recommendations for Pressure Sensor Devices for any additional information.
