A good PCB layout for the MPXM2102AS involves keeping the sensor away from high-current carrying traces, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the distance between the sensor and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog ground layer is recommended.
Calibration involves applying known pressures to the sensor and measuring the corresponding output voltages. A two-point calibration is recommended, where the sensor is calibrated at 0 psi and at the maximum rated pressure. The calibration coefficients can then be used to calculate the pressure from the output voltage.
The MPXM2102AS has a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, and its accuracy is affected by temperature. The sensor's output voltage changes by approximately 0.1% per °C. Temperature compensation can be achieved using an external temperature sensor and calibration coefficients.
To minimize EMI and RFI, use a shielded cable to connect the sensor to the ADC, keep the sensor away from high-frequency sources, and use a low-pass filter to filter out high-frequency noise. Additionally, ensure that the PCB layout is designed to minimize radiation and susceptibility to EMI and RFI.
The recommended power-on sequence is to apply power to the VCC pin first, followed by the VREF pin. This ensures that the internal voltage regulator is stable before the sensor starts operating.
