SmartElex LPS22 Pressure Sensor LPS22HB

The SmartElex LPS22 Pressure Sensor LPS22HB measures absolute air pressure by detecting the force exerted by the air molecules within a specific volume. This measurement is useful for determining weather conditions (low-pressure or high-pressure systems) and altitude, as air pressure decreases with increase in altitude.

Absolute Pressure Sensor

• Exceed Pressure Limits: Avoid exposing the sensor to pressures beyond its specified range of 260 to 1260 hPa to prevent sensor damage.,
• Subject To High Temperatures: Do not expose the sensor to temperatures outside the operational limits as it may affect the sensor's functionality and accuracy.

• Follow Voltage Specifications: Ensure to operate the sensor within the 3 to 5 volts range to prevent damage.,
• Use Correct Interface: Utilize either SPI or I²C interfaces for communication depending on your project requirements.,
• Calibrate For Accuracy: Perform at least a one-point calibration to achieve the highest accuracy of 0.1 hPa.

3 to 5 V

• Step 1: Identify the interface type required for your application (SPI or I²C).,
• Step 2: Connect the sensor's power pins to a 3 to 5 V power supply.,
• Step 3: Connect the communication pins to the corresponding SPI or I²C ports on your microcontroller or mainboard.,
• Step 4: Ensure all connections are secure and check for any shorts or loose connections.
