Extremely low power differential pressure sensors
From Sensirion, the SDP6x6 differential pressure sensor line features especially low energy consumption, making it suitable for long-term battery operation.
From Sensirion, the SDP6x6 differential pressure sensor line features especially low energy consumption, making it suitable for long-term battery operation. Both the SDP606 and SDP616 sensors are designed to enter sleep mode after performing each measurement: they wake up when a “measure” command is received and enter sleep mode again after completing the measurement. The result is operating currents no greater than 400 μA and virtually no current drain (<1 μA) in sleep mode.
Like other devices in Sensirion's SDP600 series, the new sensors, which work on the principle of calorimetric flow measurement, are available in two different versions. The SDP606 is intended for direct threaded connection to a pressure manifold with O-ring sealing, while the SDP616 is designed for tube connection. Target applications include medical and HVAC, where high accuracy and reliability with very low energy consumption are required.
