Digital HDI Pressure Sensors From Sensortechnics
Sensortechnics' HDI series performs precision digital signal conditioning to achieve ultra high total accuracies. An internal ASIC compensates sensor offset, temperature effects and non-linearity to allow for an excellent Total Error Band (TEB) better than ±0.5 %FSS. The pressure sensors provide digital interfaces with I²C bus protocol and analog 0.5 ... 4.5 V output signals.
