PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMV83x can be used for pressure sensor applications. Because of their low power the LMV83x are ideal for portable applications, such as blood pressure measurement devices, or portable barometers. This example describes a universal pressure sensor that can be used as a starting point for different types of sensors and applications.
The pressure sensor used in this example functions as a Wheatstone bridge. The value of the resistors in the bridge change when pressure is applied to the sensor. This change of the resistor values will result in a differential output voltage, depending on the sensitivity of the sensor and the applied pressure.
