Introduction
General
1.1
The DPS 5000 series sensor is a microcontroller based smart pressure transducer
that provides a digital output through an I
2
C-bus interface. The sensor is available
as either an external or internal variant. The external variant is a sealed device with
the electrical connections made via an integral cable. The internal variant is an
open frame device with electrical connections made via an integral plug.

The DPS 5000 series sensors are low powered devices offering a high level of
accuracy over a wide temperature range. The I
2
C-bus interface provides
compensated pressure and temperature readings and allows the sensor operation
to be software controlled.
