GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AMS 6916 is an OEM pressure sensors series
offering an analog voltage output in a compact
DIL package for assembly on printed circuit
boards (PCBs). The high-precision pressure
sensors feature a short circuit protected
ratiometric 0.5 … 4.5 V output and diagnostic
functions indicating sensor errors.
The sensors in the AMS 6916 series are digitally
calibrated, linearized and temperature
compensated with an operating temperature
range of -25 … 85 °C. Combining a high quality
piezoresistive MEMS sensing element with a
modern, mixed-signal conditioning ASIC on a
ceramic substrate the AMS 6916 achieves a small
total error band together with excellent long term
stability.
AMS 6916 sensors are available for all pressure
types in various pressure ranges: differential / relative pressure sensors in ranges from 0 … 5 mbar
up to 0 … 1 bar, absolute pressure sensors for
0 … 500 mbar and 0 … 1 bar and a barometric
type (700 … 1200 mbar). Bidirectional differential
pressure sensors are offered in ranges from
-5 … +5 mbar up to -1 … +1 bar. Custom specific
pressure ranges or further modifications are available on request.
The robust AMS 6916 are especially suitable for
precise low and medium differential pressure
measurements in applications, where a consequent miniaturization is required.
