2 Electrical Specifications
2.1 Power Supply
The SDP1000 differential pressure sensors require a
stable voltage supply of 5 V. Influence of the supply
voltage variation on the offset and the sensitivity are
given in Table 5.

2.2 Voltage Output

The SDP1000 features a voltage output from 0.25 V
to 4.0 V (Figure 2). An output voltage below 0.25 V
indicates a negative differential pressure. This range
is not calibrated however. Exempt from this statement
is the SDP1000-L025, which features a fully
bidirectional calibration with 0.2 to 4.0 V output.
The resistive load at the output pin should be larger
than 20 kOhm. The capacitive load at the output pin
must not be larger than 200 pF. If the design shows a
larger capacity at the output pin an additional resistor
is required in series at the output (e.g. 620 Ohm).

3.2 Soldering Instructions

The SDP1000 differential pressure sensor can be
wave soldered. Direct reflow soldering is not
recommended since it may affect the accuracy.
If reflow soldering is required Sensirion recommends
to use an SMD connector (e.g. type Samtec SSM-
103-L-SV) and to mount the SDP1000 after soldering.
