SPECIFICATION NOTES:
1) Pressure ranges are specified in Table 1.
2) The Full Span Output (FSO) is the algebraic difference between the output signal at the specified minimum
pressure and the output signal at the specified maximum pressure (nominal FSO = 10 V).
3) The accuracy is defined as the maximum deviation of the measurement value from the ideal transfer function at
room temperature (RT) in %FSO including the adjustment error (offset and span), nonlinearity, pressure
hysteresis and repeatability. Nonlinearity is the measured deviation from the best fit straight line (BFSL) across
the entire pressure range. Pressure hysteresis is the maximum deviation of the output value at any pressure
within the specified range when the pressure is cycled to and from the specified minimum or maximum pressure.
Repeatability is the maximum variation of the output value at any pressure within the specified range over 10
pressure cycles.
4) The overall error (also known as total error band, TEB) is defined as the maximum deviation of the measurement
value from the ideal transfer function in %FSO across the entire temperature range (-25 .. 85 °C).

6) The given value is the maximum deviation from the output voltage at VS = 24 V over the complete supply voltage
range at any pressure in the specified range. It is normalized to the FSO.

ceramics, silicon, Pyrex and RTV silicone rubber.

ceramics, silicon, RTV silicone rubber, gold and tin (alkaline or acidic liquids can destroy AMS 2710).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
AMS 2710 pressure sensor modules combine piezoresistive pressure sensing technology with modern
mixed-signal conditioning on a compact PCB.
The physical pressure to be measured is converted into a differential voltage signal at AMS 2710’s
piezoresistive pressure sensing element. This differential voltage is signal-conditioned and converted into a
standardized 0 .. 10 V voltage output signal in the following way (see Figure 1):
At first the sensing element’s differential voltage signal is pre-amplified and converted into a digital signal
using a 14-bit ADC. This digitized signal is processed mathematically by the ASIC’s integrated
microcontroller unit (μC) to achieve a calibrated and temperature compensated output signal. Herefore the
μC uses a correction algorithm and individual correction coefficients stored in the ASIC’s EEPROM during
AMS 2710’s factory calibration process. The temperature value needed for temperature compensation is
measured directly at the pressure sensing element. An 11-bit DAC reconverts the corrected digital signal into
an analog voltage signal, which is then amplified to obtain the 0 .. 10 V output voltage VOUT.
AMS 2710’s output voltage VOUT is independent of the applied supply voltage and a linear function of the
1
applied pressure p . It is given by:
p  pmin
VOUT ( p )   10 V (1)
pmax  pmin

wherein pmin is the sensor’s specified minimum pressure and pmax is the specified maximum pressure, given
by the sensor’s pressure range in Table 1.

Figure 1: AMS 2710’s block diagram

The applied pressure p is the pressure difference between port 1 and 2 for differential and bidirectional differential
pressure sensor modules. For relative pressure types it is the pressure difference between port 1 and ambient pressure
and for absolute and barometric pressure types it is the pressure at port 2 (for the definition of ports see Figure 3).

INITIAL OPERATION
AMS 2710 can be screw mounted using the four through bores (Ø 3 mm for M2.5 screws) at its edges. As an
alternative the DIL version can be plugged or soldered on a PCB using its ten DIL pins.
AMS 2710’s electrical connection is shown in Figure 2. Vs and GND are directly connected to the power
supply’s positive output and GND. Vout can be connected to a voltmeter directly to measure the output
signal voltage VOUT (referenced to GND) or a load resistor RL can be connected between Vout and GND and
VOUT can be measured parallel to RL. Please take care that the power supply is set to a voltage in the range
between 12 and 36 V and that it is able to source at least 10 mA (for RL ≥ 10 kΩ).
In practice the electrical connection can be established in the following ways: In the standard version (type
AMS 2710-XXXX-Y-1, where XXXX has to be replaced with the four-digit pressure range and Y with the
symbol for the pressure type, see “Information for Ordering”) it is possible to solder wires to the respective
soldering pads (see Figure 3) or to use a male multipoint connector (matching to TE connector 215297-5). In
the terminal block version (type AMS 2710-XXXX-Y-2) a terminal block allows the installation of a three-wire
cable without soldering. The DIL version (type AMS2710-XXXX-Y-3) can be easily plugged or soldered onto
a PCB using the sensor’s DIL pins.
The pressure connection is made using AMS 2710’s metal pressure ports. Depending on the used type of
pressure sensor module and the type of measuring pressure one or two of the pressure ports have to be
connected to the measuring media/volume. For the pressures at port 1 and port 2 (for definition of the ports
see Figure 3) the following requirements have to be fulfilled, where p1 is the pressure at port 1 and p2 is the
pressure at port 2:
for differential pressure (type AMS 2710-XXXX-D-..): p1 > p2
for relative / gage pressure (type AMS 2710-XXXX-D-..): p1 > pambient, p1 = measuring pressure
for bidirectional differential pressure (type AMS 2710-XXXX-D-B-..): p1 > p2 or p1 < p2 possible
for absolute pressure (type AMS 2710-XXXX-A-..): p2 = measuring pressure
for barometric pressure (type AMS 2710-XXXX-B-..): p2 = measuring pressure
The maximum pressures (see Table 1) and the guidelines concerning media compatibility (specification
notes 7) and 8)) have to be taken into account.

DIMENSIONS AND PINOUT

Notes:
1. Absolute and barometric pressure types only have pressure port 2.
2. The electrical connection can be established using the soldering pads, a male multipoint connector
(matching to TE connector 215297-5), a terminal block or DIL pins.
3. For pressure connections Analog Microelectronics recommends a silicone tubing (inner diameter ØID = 2 mm,
outer diameter ØOD = 6 mm).
4. If silicone tubing is used it is recommended to use hose clamps.
