Honeywell is pleased to introduce its TruStability™ Board Mount Pressure Sensors, RSC Series, a high-end, high-value addition to its TruStability™ portfolio. The RSC Series is designed for applications that require higher performance than existing TruStability™ products. When compared to Honeywell's existing TruStability™ sensors, the RSC Series provides greater than 18 bits of real resolution and a Total Error Band that is four times tighter while utilizing the same small, stable package. The Series is a more cost-effective than premium laboratory grade devices.
The RSC Series integrates proven sense element technology and stable packaging used in the TruStability™ platform with Honeywell's innovative 24-bit analog to digital converter. Rather than having one-size-fits-all internal math, compensation co-efficients are stored in internal EEPROM, which provides flexibility because customers can customize compensation for specific applications.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
* Enhances performance: Output accelerates performance through reduced conversion requirements and direct interface to microprocessors
* Enhances reliability: High burst pressures promote system reliability, minimize downtime, and can simplify design
* Easy to design in: Package is small when compared to many similar sensors, occupying less area on the PCB
