For more precision, I would recommend to use a smaller pressure range sensor so you can have higher voltage on the output when the car drives over the sealed tube.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You can start testing using the MPX5100DP, which is a very similar sensor to the MP5500DP, but with smaller measurement pressure range (0 to 100kPa).</P><P>MPX5100DP datasheet: <A href="https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MPX5100.pdf">https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MPX5100.pdf</A></P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Jose</P><P>NXP Semiconductors</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Feb 2020 18:06:15 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/Sensors/Which-sensor-most-suitable-for-my-application/m-p/978347#M5932 reyes 2020-02-18T18:06:15Z Re: Which sensor most suitable for my application? https://community.nxp.com/t5/Sensors/Which-sensor-most-suitable-for-my-application/m-p/978348#M5933 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you for the quick reply!
