STMicroelectronics LPS22DF MEMS Nano Pressure Sensor

Low-power and high-precision MEMS nano pressure sensor: 260-1260 hPa absolute digital output barometer

The STMicroelectronics LPS22DF is an ultra-compact piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor which functions as a digital output barometer. The LPS22DF provides lower power consumption, achieving lower pressure noise than its predecessor.

The LPS22DF comprises a sensing element and an IC interface which communicates over I²C, MIPI I3CSM or SPI interfaces from the sensing element to the application and supports a wide Vdd IO range for the digital interfaces as well. The sensing element, which detects absolute pressure, consists of a suspended membrane manufactured using a dedicated process developed by ST.

The pressure sensor by STMicroelectronics is available in a full-mold, holed LGA package (HLGA). The LPS22DF sensor is guaranteed to operate over a temperature range extending from -40 °C to +85 °C. The package is holed to allow external pressure to reach the sensing element.

STEVAL-MKI224V1 Data Brief

Features

  • Complete LPS22DF pinout for a standard DIL24 socket
  • Fully compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboards
  • RoHS compliant

 

The STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboards support this adapter. They include a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC. You can use the downloadable graphical user interface (Unico-GUI) or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

You can also plug a STEVAL-MKI224V1 board onto an X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 expansion board using Unicleo-GUI.
