Sensirion AG (Staefa, Switzerland) offers the SDP600 series of differential pressure sensors, featuring low energy consumption for long-term battery operation. The SDP606 and SDP616 sensors are designed to enter sleep mode after performing each measurement. They wake up when a “measure” command is received and enter sleep mode again after completing the measurement. The operation currents of a standard SDP600 sensor can be as high as 6 mA, but the new SDP6x6 sensor is optimized for operating currents no greater than 400 A. They offer a digital I2C output and are fully calibrated and temperature compensated.
