Parallax Inc Altimeter Temperature Sensor, Barometric Pressure Sensor Module

Barometric altimeter module

This module includes a high linearity barometric pressure sensor MS5607 and a high resolution temperature output, allowing implementation of an altimeter/thermometer without any additional sensors. Different operation modes allow the user to optimize for conversion speed or current consumption. The module is designed for use with a large variety of microcontrollers with different voltage requirements.

• 20cm altitude resolution
• Thermometer range: -40 to +85°C with <0.01°C resolution
• Pressure range: 10 to 1200mBar
• 24-bit pressure and temperature measurement
• Power requirement: 3.3 to 6.5Vdc
• Communication: I2C (up to 400kHz) or SPI (20MHz)
• Operating temperature range: -40 to +85°C
• Dimensions: 21.6 x 20.3mm
