• Medical Instrumentation
• Environmental Controls
• HVAC
• Meteorology
Applications
• 5” H2O to 100psi Pressure Ranges
• All Combined Errors Over Temperature Less Than 0.1%, Typical
• Wide -20 to 85°C Compensated Temperature Range
• Electrically Compatible to All Sensors GA142 Series
• Enhanced Dual Serial Interface Mode
Features
The Digital Output pressure sensors are based upon a proprietary surface mapping technology to produce a fully digital output that
virtually eliminates all repeatable errors over temperature and pressure. This series provides a 12 bit digital serial output (14 bit in High
Resolution Mode) with superior offset, span and linearity characteristics. The output is SPI and MICROWIRE/PLUS® compatible as well
as fully compatible with the All Sensors GA142 Series sensors.
In addition to synchronous communications, the Digital Output pressure sensors incorporates a bi-directional, TTL level,
asynchronous serial interfaces mode (hardware selectable 9,600 or 19,200 baud). This mode includes a command set that
allows the host to interrogate the sensor for model information, pressure range, serial number, pressure units and conversion
factor. The command set also allows the host to select a high resolution output mode, make minor adjustments to offset and
has an addressable feature that alows multiple sensors to be tied to the same interface buss.
This series is intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic working fluids such as air, dry gases and the like. All signals are 5V
TTL/CMOS compatible.

Synchronous Communications
Typical synchronous communications
configuration (compatible with All Sensors
GA142 Series Digital Output Sensors).
Typical Configurations
Asynchronous Communications
Typical asynchronous communications
configuration. The Mode pin is interrogated
at power up and if tied low, will cause the
sensor to enter asynchronous communica-
tions mode. This mode supports multiple
sensors by addressable commands. The
Convert/BR pin then serves to select one of
two available baud rates.

Specification Notes
NOTE 1: UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, ALL PARAMETERS ARE MEASURED AT 5.0 VOLT SUPPLY, POSITIVE PRESSURE APPLIED TO PORT B.
NOTE 2: THE DIGITAL OUTPUT IS A 16 BIT SIGNED BINARY OUTPUT IN A TWOS COMPLIMENT FORMAT. THE APPLIED PRESSURE IS COMPUTED USING THE PRESSURE
CONVERSION TABLE (BELOW). THE MODE COLUMN IDENTIFIES THE RESOLUTION OPERATING MODE OF THE DEVICE (A = STANDARD RESOLUTION, B = HIGH
RESOLUTION). FSO AND UNITS ARE SHOWN FOR EACH MODEL.
NOTE 3: SHIFT IS WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR OF EXCITATION APPLIED TO THE DEVICE.
NOTE 4: DIGITAL SPAN IS DEPENDENT ON THE RESOLUTION OPERATING MODE. REFER TO THE DIGITAL SPAN TABLE (BELOW) TO IDENTIFY THE DIGITAL SPAN OF THE
SPECIFIC MODEL. IN THE EVENT OF AN OVER-PRESSURE OR UNDER-PRESSURE CONDITION, THE DIGITAL OUTPUT WILL ONE COUNT HIGHER OR ONE COUNT LOWER
(RESPECTIVELY) TO THE LISTED DIGITAL SPAN TO INDICATE THE CONDITION.
NOTE 5: OVERALL ACCURACY INCLUDES THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF OFFSET AND SPAN SHIFTS OVER TEMPERATURE, LINEARITY, HYSTERESIS, AND OFFSET AND SPAN
CALIBRATION.

Represents erro bit 8 set and the Pressure Output Limited
Notes:
Bit 0 : This should not appear if the part has been calibrated
Bits 1 thru 7 : indicate computational error when compensated
Bit 8: indicates that the pressure applied to the part exceeds the
range of the part and is limit to either the high or low limit
{null} Null Response No response from the part. In the event of a serial number
mismatch the part will not respond (to avoid buss contention.)
