Xtrinsic MPL3115A2 won the embedded award 2012 (Harware category) few days ago!!
Xtrinsic MPL3115A2 Pressure Sensor product description (maximum 20 lines) Freescale’s Xtrinsic MPL3115A2 Pressure Sensor is the smart choice for precise pressure and
altitude detection.
It is the first pressure sensor on the market that does on-board compensation for altitude, pressure and temperature which saves the microcontroller (MCU) from having to
convert the raw readings. The Xtrinsic MPL3115A2 pressure sensor smart features include digital output, two interrupts for auto-wake, minimum/maximum threshold detection and autonomous data acquisition. In addition, the device has extremely high accuracy—30 cm resolution (20-bit resolution measurement)—that provides a flexible output of either meters or pascals.
