The The MikroElektronika's Altitude 5 Click is a compact add on board allowing high resolution barometric pressure measurement. This board features the KP236, an analogue barometric air pressure sensor based on a capacitive principle from Infineon Technologies. The KP236 is primarily developed for measuring barometric air pressure but can also be used in other application fields. It is surface micro machined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS technology. The calibrated transfer function converts pressure into an analogue output signal in a range of 40kPa to 115kPa. However, the choice of signal processing is up to the user, more precisely, the user can process the output signal in analogue or digital form. The high accuracy and the high sensitivity of the KP236 make this Click board suitable for advanced automotive applications and industrial and consumer applications.
