Description

The AWM2000 Series microbridge mass airflow sensor is a passive device comprised of two Wheatstone bridges. The heater control circuit is required for operation per specifications. The sensing bridge supply circuit is also required for operation per specifications. These two circuits are not on board the package and must be supplied in the application. The differential amplifier is a useful interface for the sensing bridge. It can be used to introduce gain and to voltage offsets to the sensor output. CAUTION PRODUCT DAMAGE AWM Series Microbridge Mass Airflow Sensors are not designed to sense liquid flow and will be damaged by liquid flow through the sensor. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in product damage.
