Understanding Common Specifications for MEMS Silicon Dies

02 February 2022

To evaluate the quality and performance of a MEMS silicon die, customers must rely on specifications...

... at least until they can test parts for themselves. This article will discuss the most common specifications related to these pressure-sensor dies.

The primary thing to understand about MEMS dies is that when they are exposed to either pressure or temperature, they will produce a corresponding output, which will be in millivolts, provided that an input voltage, or excitation voltage, has been supplied. The millivolt output from the MEMS die is essentially the pressure value. Therefore, the general characteristic to look for in any MEMS die is a stable and repeatable output when the die is tested under various conditions.
