AMS 6916 Board mount pressure sensor

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.
