DESCRIPTION
The MS5534C is a SMD-hybrid device including a piezoresistive pressure sensor and an ADC-Interface IC. It
provides a 16 Bit data word from a pressure and temperature dependent voltage. Additionally the module
contains 6 readable coefficients for a highly accurate software calibration of the sensor. MS5534C is a low
power, low voltage device with automatic power down (ON/OFF) switching. A 3-wire interface is used for all
communications with a microcontroller.
The MS5534C is fully software compatible to the previous versions (MS5534A and MS5534B). Compared to the
previous versions the ESD sensitivity level has been improved to 4kV on all pins.

NOTES
1) Under the assumption of one conversion every second. Conversion means either a pressure or a
temperature measurement started by a command to the serial interface of MS5534C.
2) During conversion the sensor will be switched on and off in order to reduce power consumption; the total on
time within a conversion is about 2 ms.
3) This value can be reduced by switching off MCLK while MS5534C is in standby mode.
4) It is strongly recommended that a crystal oscillator be used because the device is sensitive to clock jitter. A
square-wave form of the clock signal is a must.

NOTES
1) A stable pressure reading of the given resolution requires taking the average of 2 to 4 subsequent pressure
values due to noise of the ADC.
2) Maximum error of pressure reading over the pressure range.
3) Maximum error of pressure reading over the pressure range after offset adjustment at one pressure point.
4) With the second-order temperature compensation as described in Section "FUNCTION". See next section
for typical operating curves.
5) The long-term stability is measured with non-soldered devices.
TEMPERATURE OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
This temperature information is not required for most applications, but it is necessary to allow for temperature
compensation of the output.
