Description

The LPS331AP is an ultra compact absolute piezoresistive pressure sensor. It includes a monolithic sensing element and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide a digital signal to the external world.

The sensing element consists of a suspended membrane realized inside a single mono-silicon substrate. It is capable to detecting pressure and is manufactured using a dedicated process developed by ST, called VENSENS.
