The latest release in the pressure sensors category of Click boards™ is the Pressure 11 click - a digital barometer on a Click board™.
Pressure 11 is equipped with the LPS33HW, an absolute, piezoresistive pressure sensor, manufactured using proprietary technology. This sensor offers benefits such as:
- low power consumption
- high resolution of the pressure data
- embedded thermal compensation
- FIFO buffer with several operating modes
- temperature measurement, etc.
The most distinctive feature of this sensor is its ability to measure the pressure within the wide range between 260 - 1260hPa, offering calibrated readings over the SPI or I2C digital interface.
The pressure sensor contains protective gel, thus preventing water or humidity to damage the circuit. Additionally, it is protected from overpressure, allowing it to withstand pressure peaks up to 20x its measurement range.
These features make Pressure 11 click a perfect tool for development of various pressure-based applications, especially when low power consumption is required: portable weather stations, IoT and other battery-operated pressure-related applications, wearables, and similar.
