MEMs Barometric Pressure Sensor SCP1000 Breakout.jpg

This is a simple SCP1000 Breakout board bringing the SPI interface pins to a 0.1" header.

The SCP1000 is the very first absolute pressure sensor on the market to use MEMS technology to grant 17-bit resolution. VTI's SCP1000-D01 digital absolute pressure sensors are intended for barometric pressure measurement and altimeter applications for 30kPa to 120kPa and -20C to 70C measuring ranges.

The pressure and temperature output data is calibrated and compensated internally and the communication between the SCP1000 and its host microcontroller is realized using an SPI interface.

SCP1000 is comprised of a VTI's 3D-MEMS capacitive sensing element, a dedicated low power CMOS interface ASIC with on-chip calibration memory, 4 preset measuring modes and a LCP (Liquid Crystal Plastic) MID (Molded Interconnect Device) housing.

Four user selectable measuring modes combine 17-bit resolution (9cm of air column) with low or ultra-low power consumption, or alternatively 15-bit resolution (18cm of air column) with high speed data read (9Hz) or less than 5uA and power consumption.
