Compensation

The 10-bit compensated pressure output, Pcomp, is calculated as follows:

Pcomp = a0 + (b1 + Padc + c12*Tadc) * Padc + (b2 + Tadc) * Tadc

Where:

Padc is the 10-bit pressure output of the MPL015A2 ADC,

Tadc is the 10-bit temperature output of the MPL015A2 ADC,

a0 is the pressure offset coefficient,

b1 is the pressure sensitivity coefficient,

c12 is the coefficient for temperature sensitivity coefficient (TCS),

b2 is the 1st order temperature offset coefficient (TCO),

Ideally, Pcomp will produce a value of 0 with an input pressure of 50 kPa and will produce a full-scale value of 1023 with an input

pressure of 115 kPa.
