MLX90821
Relative Pressure Sensor IC A broken wire detection block allows actively driving the output to one of the rails in case of a broken supply or ground connection. Extensive protection of the supply lines allows the MLX90821 to handle extreme overvoltage conditions and is immune to severe external disturbances. Several diagnostic functions (over - voltage, under-voltage, overpressure, under pressure detections) have been implemented on the 90821 and can be enabled by programming EEPROM settings.
