Frequently Asked Questions

What is MPL3115A2 used for?
The MPL3115A2 is a low-cost, low-power, highly accurate barometric pressure sensor. The sensor is used to detect changes in barometric pressure (weather changes) or for altitude (UAV controllers and the like).
How does mpl3115a2 work?
The MPL3115A2 employs a MEMS pressure sensor with an I2C interface to provide accurate Pressure/Altitude and Temperature data. The sensor outputs are digitized by a high-resolution 24-bit ADC. Pressure output can be resolved with output in fractions of a Pascal, and Altitude can be resolved in fractions of a meter.
