PRESSURE SENSORS OPERATING PRINCIPLES ■ Semi conductor type pressure sensors ■ Semi conductor type pressure sensors 〈Operation〉 〈Operation〉 1. The pressure sensor utilizes the piezoresistive 2. The pressure sensing chip is made of a single properties of a semiconductor which exhibits crystal silicone and measures approximately 4 × 3 change in the resistance when stress is applied. × 1.7 mm. The chip has a diaphragm which deforms when pressure is applied. 3. Piezoresistors are created on the surface of the 4. There are four piezoresistors forming a wheatstone single crystal silicone by a heat diffusion process bridge which is excited by constant current. When and sense stress when pressure acts on the pressure is applied, voltage signals proportional to diaphragm. the pressure can be obtained from the output terminals. 〈Output〉 The output obtained is change in the voltage that is proportional to the applied pressure and is approximately 100 mV at the rated pressure. Measurement accuracy is increased by adding temperature compensation resistors which are contained in the pressure sensor.

So, this must be absolutely avoided. and may make accurate measurement impossible. In the case of double diaphragm type, please avoid contact with the diaphragm or force solid matter into the diaphragm as it may deform the diaphragm and damage the sensor. Also care must be taken not to put foreign matter on the surface of the diaphragm. • Freezing • Drip proof and moisture resistance When the moisture on the sensor chip freezes, it may Please do not use sensors at anyplace where
