The DPS422XTSA1 is a miniaturized digital barometric air pressure and temperature sensor with high accuracy and low current consumption. Pressure sensing is carried out using a capacitive sensor element, guaranteeing high accuracy over temperature. The small 2.0 x 2.5 x 0.73 mm package makes the DPS422XTSA1 ideal for mobile applications and wearable devices.
The pressure and temperature sensor elements are measured by a 24-bit ΣΔ ADC. Measurement results can be accessed over I2C or SPI, with an optional configurable interrupt and a result FIFO capable of holding 32 pressure and/or temperature measurements.
Individual calibration coefficients are generated for each unit during testing, and stored in the fuse registers.
These coefficients are used in the application to convert the measurement results to high accuracy pressure and temperature values.
