About this manual

The MLX90269 combines a pressure‑sensing element and on‑chip signal conditioning in a single CMOS die. It provides a ratiometric, rail‑to‑rail output that can be programmed via a three‑pin connector, with diagnostics for broken wires and sensor membrane.

The device supports multiple pressure ranges (1.2 – 7 Bar full‑scale), operates from –40 °C to 150 °C, and includes a programmable calibration procedure (PTC) and memory lock feature for secure programming.

Frequently asked questions

How is the MLX90269 programmed?

Programming is performed through the three‑pin connector (Vdd, Vss, Out) using pulse‑width‑modulated data on the OUT pin.

How many pins does the sensor use?

Only three pins are required: Vdd, Vss, and Out.

What happens to the output when the sensor membrane breaks?

The output is forced to ground (or a very low level) as a diagnostic indication.
