应用:

气压表也是一种压力传感器,新一代的气压表既可以测量气压和高度,又可以测量温度。所以它既可以做GPS的补充又可以预报天气,可以应用于户外活动和高空作业等,手机配置上这个功能无疑更加智能。

工作原理:

现在气压表只是一个2毫米见方的小芯片,当然不可能是基于托里拆利试验的水银气压计,而是基于piezo-resistive的压电传感器。石英SiO2等晶体,受到压力变化时导致电压的变化,从而电阻也会变化。

通过AD转换,输送到主机,即可知道压力的大小。而温度可以根据PVT的关系计算出来,你懂的。

名词解释 Piezo-resistive

Piezo is derived from the Greek word piezein, “to squeeze.”Piezoelectric materials
produce a voltage when strained. Piezoresistive materials exhibit achange in resistance
when subjected to pressure.

When pressure (stress) is applied to a material it creates astrain or deformation in the
material. In a piezoelectric material this strain creates anelectrical potential difference, a voltage. The effect isreversible. When an electric potential is applied across two sidesof
a piezoelectric material, it strains. Both effects were discoveredby Jacques and Pierre
Curie in 1880-1. The piezoelectric effect is found in materialswith a specific electical
crystalline structure. These are known as piezoelectricmaterials.
