In this article, we will explain the following major features and benefits of the MS5637-02BA03.

  1. Resolution at sea level is 13 cm
  2. Ultra-compact package of only 3m x 3m
  3. Built-in I2C enables easy connection with a microcomputer
  4. Ultra-low power consumption, ideal for battery applications

1. Resolution at sea level is 13cm

A typical altimeter resolution is 30cm or better. The resolution of MS5637-02BA03 is 13 cm, which is less than half that of a general altimeter.

This is because the MS5637-02BA03 is equipped with a high linearity pressure sensor and a 24-bit ΔΣ ADC, enabling high-resolution measurements.
High-resolution altitude and temperature outputs allow the implementation of altimeter and thermometer functionality without additional sensors.
