Analog Features Supply Regulator A bandgap-stabilized supply-regulator is on-chip while the pass-transistor is external. The bridge-type sensor is typically powered by the regulated supply (typically 4.75V). For ratiometric operation, the supply-regulator can be disabled by connecting unregulated and regulated supply ...

Compensation Trade-Offs A compromise must be made between temperature compensation and pressure correction. The EEPROM space where the signal coefficients are stored is shared with the temperature coefficients, with the result that an EEPROM byte can be used either for ...

Alarm Option This option allows controlling the low and high limits of the output (See Figure 5.). The output level is set when the output tries to exceed the programmed limits. Five bytes are reserved for this option. The first ...
Page 14
Level Steering The level steering option allows configuration of the IO pins as outputs to indicate the relative level of a selected signal. See Figure 7. The levels at which the two outputs change state are programmed by the user. ...
