The VAV Press Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains a board-mount pressure sensor. This board features the LMIS025B, a low differential pressure sensor from First Sensor (part of TE Connectivity). It is based on thermal flow measurement of gas through a micro-flow channel integrated within the sensor chip. The innovative LMI technology features superior sensitivity, especially for ultra-low pressures ranging from 0 to 25Pa. Compared to other flow-based pressure sensors, the extremely-low gas flow through the sensor ensures high immunity to dust contamination, humidity, and long tubing.
The VAV Press Click Board™ is suitable for pressure measurements in Variable Air Volume (VAV) building ventilation systems, industrial and medical respiratory applications.
How Does The VAV Press Click Board™ Work?
The VAV Press Click Board™ is based on the LMIS025B, a low differential pressure sensor that offers a digital output for reading pressure over the specified pressure span from First Sensor (part of TE Connectivity). The innovative LMI technology features superior sensitivity, especially for ultra-low pressures ranging from 0 to 25Pa / 0 to 0.25mbar (0.1 in H2O). It is based on thermal flow measurement of gas through a micro-flow channel integrated within the sensor chip.
The extremely low gas flow through the sensor ensures high immunity to dust contamination, humidity, and long tubing compared to other flow-based pressure sensors, in addition to the outstanding long-term stability, precision with patented real-time offset compensation, and linearization techniques.
The LMIS025B offers two modes of operation: Continuous mode with a 5ms sampling time which provides a near-continuous stream of pressure data, and low-power mode with a 400μA Standby current which wakes the device from Sleep to serve pressure data "on-demand". The first measurement in either mode is available after a warm-up and conversion sequence, which takes approximately 25 ms.
The VAV Press Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface offering linearized digital output through a 16-bit sigma-delta A/D conversion. Besides, it also allows the choice of the least significant bit of its I2C slave address by positioning the SMD jumper labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1.
The VAV Press Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, USB UART 2 Click Board™ or RS232 Click Board™ to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The VAV Press Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
