The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VEE. This ensures that the internal voltage regulator is properly biased before the analog circuitry is powered up.
Calibration involves applying a known pressure to the sensor and adjusting the offset and span values to match the expected output voltage. A calibration procedure can be found in the application note AN1666.
The MPX2010DP is designed to measure pressures up to 10 psi (69 kPa). Exceeding this range may damage the sensor or affect its accuracy.
The MPX2010DP is not designed for use in humid or wet environments. It is recommended to use a protective coating or enclosure to prevent moisture ingress.
The MPX2010DP outputs an analog voltage signal that can be interfaced with a microcontroller's analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A voltage reference and amplifier may be required to condition the signal.
