ASB205 - MPX5000 SERIES SENSOR MODULE
[attachment=26824]
A plug–in module that is part of a systems development tool
set for pressure sensors is presented here. It provides an
analog signal from an MPX5000 series sensor to a Motorola
Sensor Development Controller, or can be used stand alone
to provide power and signal connections to the sensor.
PLUG–IN MODULE DESCRIPTION
A summary of information for using systems development
plug–in module ASB205 includes the schematic in Figure 2,
connector pinout in Figure 3, a pin by pin description of
functionality, specs in Tables 1–3, and a parts list in Table 4.
Figure 4 in the Applications section provides a quick reference
for making connections. A discussion of the design appears
under the heading Design Considerations.
Function
The plug–in module shown in Figure 1 is designed to supply
pressure and temperature inputs to a sensor development
controller. The sensor output is filtered and buffered with a
unity gain rail to rail amplifier. If desired, jumpers on the board
allow direct connection of the sensor output to the controller.
Connections are made through a DB–9 connector, which
allows this board to be plugged directly into its controller. If
physical separation is desired, a standard 9 wire
straight–through serial cable can be inserted between the two
boards. Alternately, connections for 5 volts, ground, and the
output signal can be made through screw terminals at the top
of the board. A socket for sensor connections makes changing
from one pressure range to another relatively easy.
CONCLUSION
The ASB205 plug–in module is part of a systems
development tool set for pressure sensors. It provides
pressure and temperature input signals to a Motorola Sensor
Development Controller, or can be used stand alone to
provide power and signal connections to MPX5000 series
sensors.
