Function
The T5400 is a fully calibrated digital pressure sensor module. It consists of a piezoresistive MEMS
pressure sensor element and an ASIC with integrated temperature sensor, analog to digital converter
ADC, memory and digital circuitry. The analog bridge voltage of the pressure sensor and the output
voltage of the temperature sensor are routed through a multiplexer and a gain stage to the ADC. The
logic-core controls the different function blocks.
After initialisation the calibration parameters stored in the memory will be transmitted to the MCU (micro-
controller unit). Afterwards only the raw pressure and temperature values are transmitted. After a
request from the MCU a pressure or/and a temperature measurement is performed. Depending on the
accuracy, time and power consumption requirements one out of four different operation modes can be
selected before a measurement is executed.
The end of a measurement is indicated on the EOC (end of conversion) pin. Then the MCU can request
the raw measurement values and calculate the actual pressure and temperature values using the
calibration data. To optimize power consumption the T5400 enters the idle mode between two measure-
ments. Further details and source code examples are available in an application note.

Cautions and warnings
Immersion of the sensor in liquids e.g. a flux cleaning process is not possible.
For optimum performance avoid direct light exposure.
Media compatibility with the pressure sensor must be ensured. Do not expose the sensor to corrosive
or explosive gases.
