About the CTO-8

Advanced Sensor Ceramic TO Technology (CTO) 8 Series is a temperature compensated, mV output, PCB mounted pressure sensor packaged in a rugged Transistor Outline 8 pin (TO-8) package. The CTO-8 Series uses a silicon MEMS pressure sensor mounted to a TO header with a separately soldered ceramic substrate that is uniquely laser trimmed and matched to each sensor. Available in gage, absolute and differential pressures and four different package configurations allow OEMs to optimize their board design. The CTO-8 series is powered with constant current and when configured as in the Application Note, the integrated gain set resistor will ensure sensor field interchangeability. Altogether, the CTO-8 series superior die performance, coupled with rugged ceramic substrate ensures long term stability with superior temperature performance over a wide operating range.
