Example:

Word1, Word2, Word3 and Word4 (4x16 Bit)

D1 = 17788

D2 = 26603

Start

Convert calibration data into coefficients:

(see bit pattern of Word1-Word4)

Read calibration data (factory calibrated) from

PROM of MS5541C

Read digital pressure value from MS5541C

D1

(16 Bit)

Read digital temperature value from MS5541C

Display pressure and temperature value

Basic equations:

Calculate calibration temperature

UT1=8*C5+10000

Calculate temperature compensated pressure

Difference between actual temperature and reference

temperature:

dT = D2 - UT1

Actual temperature:

TEMP = 200 + dT*(C6+100)/2

TEMP(D2)=20°+dT(D2)*TEMPSENS

Offset at actual temperature:

OFF = C2 + ((C4-250)*dT)/2

Sensitivity at actual temperature:

SENS = C1/2 + ((C3+200)*dT)/2

Temperature compensated pressure in mbar:

P = (SENS * (D1-OFF))/2

OFF(D2)=OFFT1+TCO*dT(D2)

SENS(D2)=SENST1+TCS*dT(D2)

P(D1,D2)=D1*SENS(D2)-OFF(D2)
