GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The sensors in the AMS 6915 series are high

precision OEM pressure sensors with a digital I²C-

interface. They are calibrated and temperature

compensated within an operating temperature

range of -25

… 85 °C. The I

2C output and the

selectable supply voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V make the

AMS

6915

series

ideal

for

microcontroller

applications.

AMS 6915 combine a micromachined, high quality

piezoresistive sensing element with a modern

mixed-signal conditioning ASIC on a ceramic

substrate. With the compact DIL package for

assembly on printed circuit boards the series is

especially suitable for low and medium differential

pressure measurements in applications, which

require consequent miniaturization.

AMS 6915 board mount pressure sensors are

available in various pressure ranges for all types of

pressure: differential pressure sensors in ranges

from 0 ... 5 mbar up to 0 ... 2.5 bar, relative (gage)

sensors from 0 ... 200 mbar up to 0 ... 2 bar, abso-

lute pressure sensors from 0 ... 500 mbar up to

0 ... 2 bar and a 700 ... 1200 mbar variant for bar-

ometric measurements. Bidirectional differential

sensor types are available in pressure ranges from

-2.5 ... +2.5 mbar up to -1 ... +1 bar.

Custom specific pressure ranges or further 1odify-

cations are available on request.
