Waldenburg (Germany) – Würth Elektronik proudly presents their latest product, the WSEN-PDMS, a new highly accurate differential pressure sensor for a multitude of operating scenarios. The sensor operates with an accuracy of ±1 mbar and a resolution of 16 bits, supports a broad voltage range from 3.0 V up to 5.5 V, and is compatible both with digital I²C and SPI communication interfaces as well as an analog interface. Two different casing versions make the sensor particularly versatile: they are available with vertical straight nozzles for connection with pressure adapters and with horizontal barbed nozzles for tube connection. This flexibility makes both system integration as well as prototype development much easier to accomplish.
These features ensure the WSEN-PDMS sensor is compatible with a broad range of microcontrollers and embedded systems. The sensor delivers fully calibrated differential-pressure data as well as optional temperature measurements, and operates reliably in a temperature range from -25°C up to +85°C. Optionally the transmitted measurement results can be complemented by additional CRC bits, thus enabling a reliable and robust communication.
Advanced development
The WSEN-PDMS is based on the robust design of the time-tested WSEN-PDUS sensor, which will remain part of our product portfolio. Just like its predecessor, the new sensor is suited for a broad range of applications – from heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning technology, filter-status monitoring, gas-leak detection, and industrial automation, all the way to medical devices such as inhalation equipment.
Like all the sensor products supplied by Würth Elektronik, the WSEN-PDMS series is also available ex stock without any minimum order quantity. It is also possible to develop versions according to the customer’s own specifications to meet special application requirements. Würth Elektronik offers evaluation boards and an extensive Software Development Kit on GitHub to facilitate a swift development and evaluation process, enabling engineers to put the sensor to use quickly, to test its functionality, and to integrate it into their systems with maximum ease.
