1 Product Description
The KP234 is a miniaturized Analog Barometric Air Pressure Sensor IC based on a capacitive principle. It is surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS technology. The sensor converts a pressure into an analog output signal. The calibrated transfer function converts a pressure range of 40 kPa to 115 kPa into a voltage range of 1.33 V to 4.70 V. The chip is packaged in a “green” SMD housing. The sensor has been primarily developed for measuring barometric air pressure, but can also be used in other application fields. The high accuracy and the high sensitivity of the device makes it a perfect fit for advanced automotive applications as well as in industrial and consumer applications.

2 Functional Description
The pressure is detected by an array of capacitive surface micromachined sensor cells. The sensor cell output is amplified, temperature compensated and linearized to obtain an output voltage that is proportional to the applied pressure. The transfer function for linearization is computed in the digital part of the sensor using a third order polynomial calculation. The transfer function is created from the following parameters:
- Minimum and maximum rated pressure
- Voltage level at minimum and maximum rated pressure The output is analog and ratiometric with respect to the supply voltage. All parameters needed for the complete calibration algorithm — such as offset, gain, temperature coefficients of offset and gain, and linearization parameters — are determined after assembly. The parameters are stored in an integrated E²PROM. The E²PROM content is protected with forward error correction (a one bit error is detected and corrected, errors of more than one bit are detected and the output signal is switched to ground potential). Open Bond Detection When the chip is not powered properly, the JFET transistors of the broken wire detection stage are self- conducting. For example, if the GND connection is interrupted, the output is drawn strongly to VDD. Similarly, if the VDD connection is broken, the output is drawn to GND.

2.4 Transfer Function
The KP234 device is fully calibrated on delivery. The sensor has a linear transfer function between the applied pressure and the output signal: The output signal is ratiometric. Gain a and offset b are determined during calibration in order to generate the required transfer function. Calibrated Transfer Function The following calibration is adjusted with the parameters a and b: Note: The points pIN,1 /VOUT,1 and pIN,2 /VOUT,2 define the calibrated transfer function and not the operating range. The operating pressure range is defined by the parameter 2.4 “Ambient operating pressure range” on Page 19 Figure 3 Transfer function Note: The application circuitry determines the current driven by the device and thus may have an impact on the output voltage delivered by the sensor.

2.5 Accuracy
The accuracy of the KP234 sensor is influenced by the supply voltage (ratiometric error) as well as by pressure, temperature and aging effects. The specified value, calculated with the transfer function, represents the theoretical value (see Figure 3 ). The error equals the deviation between the measured output voltage value and the specified output voltage value.
2.5.1 Ratiometric Error
Ideally the sensor is ratiometric - the output (V OUT ) scales by the same ratio that VDD increases or decreases. The ratiometric error is defined as the difference between the ratio that VDD changed and the ratio that VOUT changed, expressed as a percentage. The output voltage VOUT is ratiometric to VDD . VDD must be in the operating range provided in Table 7 . Figure 4 Ratiometric error
2.5.2 Overall Accuracy
Overall accuracy covers the entire pressure and temperature range from different sources of error including the following: Pressure: Output deviation from target transfer function over the specified pressure range
- Temperature: Output deviation over the temperature range Aging: Parameter drift over life time Table 3 Ratiometric Error Supply voltage (V) Max. ratiometric error ( E RAT in % of V DD, Typ ) VDD,Min ± 0.5 VDD,Typ 0 VDD,Max ± 0.5 ERAT (%) = VOUT (@V DD ) - V OUT (@5V) x VDD 5V x 100% -0.5 VDD,MIN VDD 0.5 VDD,MAX VDD,TYP E RAT (%)
Analog Absolute Pressure Sensor Functional Description Data Sheet 14 Revision 1.0, 2010-06-21 Note: Ratiometric signal error is not included in the overall accuracy. For error measurements, the supply voltage must have the nominal value ( VDD = VDD,Typ ). The error band is determined by three continuous lines through four relevant breakpoints.

2.6 Output Voltage versus Load
The output voltage limits depend on:
- The value of the external load resistor.
- The type of connection (pull-up or pull-down). Figure 6 Maximum output voltage limit with pull-down load Figure 7 Minimum output voltage limit with pull-up load Note: The values in the diagrams are valid for the entire specified temperature range. The two diagrams above do not take into account clamping levels. In case clamping levels are implemented, the output voltage is clamped accordingly. 4.50 4.60 4.70 4.80 4.90 source current [mA] pull-down resistance [kΩ] 20 10 550 0.1 4.85 VOUT [V]5.00 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 20 10 550 0.1 source current [mA] pull-up resistance [kΩ] VOUT [V]

2.7 Timing Properties
The power-up time tUP is defined as the maximum time between the supply voltage reaching its operating range and the output voltage reaching 90% of its final value (assuming pin V OUT open and constant input pressure). Figure 8 Power-up time Response Time and Stabilization Time The response time tR is defined as the time required by the output to change from 10% to 90% of its final value after a specified pressure step (assuming pin V OUT open). The stabilization time tS is defined as the time required by the output to meet the specified accuracy after the pressure has been stabilized (assuming pin V OUT open).

3 Specification
3.1 Application Circuit Example
It is recommended to protect the pressure sensor IC against overload and electro-magnetic interferences (as shown in Figure 10 ). The output circuit acts as a low-pass decoupling filter between the sensor IC output and the A/D input of the microcontroller. The shown application circuit example considers an increased cable length between the sensor and the microcontroller. A combined location on a PCB with reduced distance between the sensor and the controller allows a reduction of the numbers of the passive components (e.g. C 2, R1 and R2 can be omitted). Figure 10 Application circuit example Note: It is recommended to leave the digital pins CLOCK/V PROG , DATA IN and DATA OUT floating (in case of an open GND connection, the floating pins prevent from a cross grounding through the corresponding ESD diodes).
