MS5837-30BA
Ultra-small, gel-filled, pressure sensor withstainless steel cap
The MS5837-30BA is a high-resolution pressure and temperature sensor
from TE Connectivity (TE) with I2C bus interface. This sensor is optimized
for water depth measurement systems with a resolution of 0.2 cm. The
sensor module includes a high linearity pressure sensor and an ultra-low
power 24-bit ΔΣ ADC with internal factory calibrated coefficients. It
provides a precise digital 24-bit pressure and temperature value anddifferent operation modes that allow the user to optimize for conversion
speed and current consumption. A high-resolution temperature output
allows the implementation in depth measurement systems andthermometer function without any additional sensor. The MS5807-30BA
can be interfaced to virtually any microcontroller. The communication
protocol is simple, without the need of programming internal registers in thedevice. The gel protection and antimagnetic stainless-steel cap make themodule water resistant.
Small dimensions of only 3.3 x 3.3 x 2.75 mm allow integration in mobile
devices. Enhanced construction and design materials allow for enhanced
chemical endurance in applications with harsh liquid media environmentswith limited exposure. This sensor module generation is based on leading
MEMS technology from TE proven experience and know-how in highvolume manufacturing of sensors modules.

Ultra-small, gel-filled pressure sensor with stainless steel cap

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL
The MS5837-30BA consists of a piezo-resistive sensor and a sensor interface IC. The main function of the MS583730BA is to convert the uncompensated analog output voltage from the piezo-resistive pressure sensor to a 24-bit
digital value, as well as providing a 24-bit digital value for the temperature of the sensor
FACTORY CALIBRATION
Every module is individually factory calibrated at two temperatures and two pressures. As a result, 6 coefficients
necessary to compensate for process variations and temperature variations are calculated and stored in the 112bit PROM of each module. These bits (partitioned into 6 coefficients W1 to W6) must be read by the microcontroller
software and used in the program converting D1 and D2 into compensated pressure and temperature values.
The coefficients W0 is for factory configuration and CRC.
SERIAL I2C INTERFACEThe external microcontroller clocks in the data through the input SCL (Serial CLock) and SDA (Serial DAta). The
sensor responds on the same pin SDA which is bidirectional for the I 2C bus interface. So this interface type uses
only 2 signal lines and does not require a chip select.

COMMANDSThe MS5837-30BA has only five basic commands:
1. Reset
2. Read PROM (128 bit of calibration words)
3. D1 conversion
4. D2 conversion
5. Read ADC result (24 bit pressure / temperature)

Size of each command is 1 byte (8 bits) as described in the table below. After ADC read commands the device will
return 24 bit result and after the PROM read 16bit result. The address of the PROM is embedded inside of the
PROM read command using the a2, a1 and a0 bits.

I2C INTERFACERESET SEQUENCEThe Reset sequence shall be sent once after power-on to make sure that the calibration PROM gets loaded into
the internal register. It can be also used to reset the device PROM from an unknown condition.
The reset can be sent at any time. In the event that there is not a successful power on reset this may be caused by
the SDA being blocked by the module in the acknowledge state. The only way to get the MS5837-30BA to function
is to send several SCLs followed by a reset sequence or to repeat power on reset.

PROM READ SEQUENCE
The read command for PROM shall be executed once after reset by the user to read the content of the calibration
PROM and to calculate the calibration coefficients. There are in total 7 addresses resulting in a total memory of 112
bit. Addresses contain factory data and the setup, calibration coefficients, the serial code and CRC. The commandsequence is 8 bits long with a 16 bit result which is clocked with the MSB first. The PROM Read command consistsof two parts. First command sets up the system into PROM read mode. The second part gets the data from thesystem.

CONVERSION SEQUENCE
The conversion command is used to initiate uncompensated pressure (D1) or uncompensated temperature (D2)conversion. After the conversion, using ADC read command the result is clocked out with the MSB first. If theconversion is not executed before the ADC read command, or the ADC read command is repeated, it will give 0 as
the output result. If the ADC read command is sent during conversion the result will be 0, the conversion will notstop and the final result will be wrong. Conversion sequence sent during the already started conversion process will
yield incorrect result as well. A conversion can be started by sending the command to MS5837-30BA. Whencommand is sent to the system it stays busy until conversion is done. When conversion is finished the data can beaccessed by sending a Read command, when acknowledge is sent from the MS5837-30BA, 24 SCL cycles may
be sent to receive all result bits. Every 8 bits the system waits for an acknowledge signal.

MOUNTING AND ASSEMBLY CONSIDERATIONSSOLDERING
Please refer to the application note AN808 available on our website for all soldering recommendations.
MOUNTING
The MS5837-30BA can be placed with automatic Pick & Place equipment using vacuum nozzles. It will not bedamaged by the vacuum. Due to the low stress assembly the sensor does not show pressure hysteresis effects. It
is important to solder all contact pads.
CONNECTION TO PCB
The package outline of the module allows the use of a flexible PCB for interconnection. This can be important for
applications in watches and other special devices.
SEALING WITH O-RINGS
In applications such as outdoor watches the electronics must be protected against direct water or humidity. For
such applications the MS5837-30BA provides the possibility to seal with an O-ring. The O-ring shall be placed at
the groove location, i.e. the small outer diameter of the metal lid. The following O-ring / housing dimensions arerecommended:O-ring inner diameterO-ring cross-section diameter
Housing bore diameter

1.8 ± 0.05 mm
0.8 ± 0.03 mm
3.07 ± 0.03 mm

Please refer to the application note available on our website for O-ring mounting recommendations.
CLEANING
The MS5837-30BA has been manufactured under clean-room conditions. It is therefore recommended to assemble
the sensor under class 10’000 or better conditions. Should this not be possible, it is recommended to protect thesensor opening during assembly from entering particles and dust. To avoid cleaning of the PCB, solder paste oftype “no-clean” shall be used. Warning: cleaning might damage the sensor.
ESD PRECAUTIONSThe electrical contact pads are protected against ESD. It is therefore essential to ground machines and personnel
properly during assembly and handling of the device. The MS5837-30BA is shipped in antistatic transport boxes.
Any test adapters or production transport boxes used during the assembly of the sensor shall be of an equivalentantistatic material.
DECOUPLING CAPACITOR
Particular care must be taken when connecting the device to the power supply. A minimum of 100nF ceramic
capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the MS5837-30BA VDD pin. This capacitor will stabilize the power
supply during data conversion and thus, provide the highest possible accuracy.
