MCU-3115 MPL3115A2 Pressure Module Engineering Review
Engineering and procurement review of the MCU-3115 MPL3115A2 pressure module for barometric pressure, altitude and temperature measurement through an I2C digital interface.
FLYCHIP Sourcing Experience
MCU-3115 is a breakout-board implementation built around the MPL3115A2 digital pressure sensor. Unlike a bare sensor IC, module procurement should verify both the core sensor and the PCB-level implementation.
- I2C
- Digital pressure, altitude and temperature interface
- 20-bit
- Pressure and altitude digital output
- 6-Pin
- Compact breakout-board connection format
Actual Module Quality Review
The supplied physical product should be treated as the reference for board-level identification. The actual module shows MPL3115A2 marking on the front and identifies itself as an I2C barometric pressure, altimeter and temperature board.
Confirm the same PCB layout, component arrangement, mounting holes and silkscreen as the approved sample.
Confirm that the installed pressure sensor is MPL3115A2 rather than a visually similar substitute.
The physical board exposes SDA, SCL, INT1, INT2 and power/ground connections.
Inspect the pressure-port opening, solder joints, header pins, PCB cleanliness and packaging condition.
MCU-3115 MPL3115A2 Engineering Verification
MPL3115A2 is a piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor with internal compensation and digital processing. It can operate as a barometer or altimeter and also provides temperature data through the same I2C interface.
| Parameter | Specification | Engineering Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Module | MCU-3115 | Breakout-board implementation for easier integration of the MPL3115A2 sensor. |
| Core Sensor | MPL3115A2 | Absolute digital barometric pressure, altitude and temperature sensor. |
| Pressure Type | Absolute | Measures atmospheric pressure against an internal reference. |
| Operating Pressure Range | 20 kPa to 110 kPa | Covers the atmospheric-pressure range required for surface elevation measurements. |
| Calibrated Pressure Range | 50 kPa to 110 kPa | Use this range when evaluating the manufacturer-specified calibrated performance. |
| Pressure Output | 20-bit | Pressure data is available directly in Pascals. |
| Altitude Output | 20-bit | Internal processing can provide altitude directly in meters. |
| Altitude Output Range | -698 m to 11,775 m | Digital conversion range documented for the MPL3115A2 altimeter mode. |
| Typical Altitude Resolution | Approximately 0.3 m at 128× OSR | Resolution describes detectable output change, not absolute altitude accuracy. |
| Temperature Output | 12-bit | Temperature information is available together with pressure measurements. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C | Native sensor operating and temperature-output range. |
| I2C Address | 0x60 | Check for address conflicts when several devices share the same I2C bus. |
| Interrupt Outputs | INT1 and INT2 | Can be used for threshold, data-ready and programmable events. |
| FIFO | 32 samples | Supports autonomous acquisition and buffered data collection. |
| Sensor VDD | 1.95V to 3.6V | Native MPL3115A2 sensor supply range. |
| Sensor VDDIO | 1.62V to 3.6V | Native digital-interface supply range of the bare sensor. |
| MCU-3115 Board Marking | Vin & Logic: 2.3V to 5V | This is the actual module-board marking, not the bare-sensor VDD specification. |
| Typical Standby Current | 2µA at sensor level | Useful for low-power and battery-powered sensing. |
| Typical Applications | Weather, altitude, navigation, wearables and environmental sensing | Suitable where digital barometric pressure information is required. |
- Do not confuse module voltage with IC voltage: the MCU-3115 PCB is marked for 2.3–5V Vin/logic, while the bare MPL3115A2 has lower native supply limits.
- Use the calibrated range correctly: the sensor operates down to 20kPa, but manufacturer calibration specifications are primarily defined from 50kPa to 110kPa.
- Altitude depends on reference pressure: changes in weather can shift calculated altitude if sea-level reference pressure is not updated.
- Keep the pressure port exposed: enclosure design must allow ambient pressure to reach the sensor.
- Protect the MEMS opening: avoid liquids, flux, adhesive, dust and aggressive cleaning media entering the sensor pressure port.
- Check I2C pull-ups: confirm the breakout board and host do not create an unsuitable combined pull-up resistance.
- Use interrupts when useful: INT1 and INT2 can reduce unnecessary polling in battery-powered systems.
- Distinguish resolution from accuracy: fine digital output resolution does not mean the same numerical value as absolute pressure accuracy.
BOM and Module Integration Support
The MCU-3115 module can simplify prototyping because the small LGA pressure sensor is already mounted on a larger PCB with accessible connection pads.

MCU-3115 MPL3115A2 Procurement Risk Points
| Generic Module Name | MCU-3115 is a board-level product description and should not be treated as an NXP manufacturer MPN. |
|---|---|
| Core Sensor | Confirm MPL3115A2 marking and sensor identity on the supplied production board. |
| PCB Revision | Generic breakout boards can change regulator, level-shifting components or layout between batches. |
| Voltage Claim | Keep board-level 2.3–5V marking separate from native MPL3115A2 IC voltage ratings. |
| I2C Address | MPL3115A2 uses fixed 7-bit address 0x60; verify system-bus compatibility. |
| Sensor Port | Reject modules with contamination, blockage or mechanical damage around the MEMS opening. |
| Lifecycle | Original MPL3115A2 has entered discontinued status. Long-term projects should review current availability and successor strategy before design lock. |
The original NXP MPL3115A2 has been discontinued, and NXP's MEMS sensor portfolio transferred to STMicroelectronics in 2026. Existing modules may still be available, but long-term production programs should verify supply before qualification.
Supply Chain and Incoming Inspection
Because MCU-3115 is a board assembly rather than a single factory-controlled semiconductor MPN, visual inspection and approved-sample comparison are particularly important.
| Reference Sample | Keep the supplied physical module as an approved visual and electrical reference. |
|---|---|
| Front PCB | Confirm MPL3115A2 marking, interface labels and component layout. |
| Rear PCB | Confirm barometric pressure / altimeter / temperature text and 2.3–5V board marking. |
| Header Pins | Check straightness, plating, soldering and pin-count consistency. |
| MEMS Sensor | Inspect pressure-port condition and avoid material with visible contamination. |
| Functional Test | Verify I2C communication, pressure reading and temperature output. |
PCB and System Integration Support
Barometric sensing is unusually sensitive to mechanical and environmental implementation. A correct schematic alone does not guarantee useful pressure or altitude measurements.
Digital Interface
Verify SDA/SCL voltage compatibility, pull-ups and the fixed 0x60 address.
Pressure Path
Provide a clear path between ambient air and the MEMS pressure opening.
Interrupt Design
INT1 and INT2 can support threshold, data-ready and autonomous acquisition functions.
Calibration Validation
Compare readings with a known atmospheric-pressure reference when system accuracy matters.
Recommended Purchase Decision Flow
- Use the physical module as reference: confirm front and rear PCB appearance before repeat orders.
- Confirm MPL3115A2: do not accept a sensor substitution without engineering review.
- Confirm board voltage: use the actual MCU-3115 board specification rather than applying bare-sensor voltage directly.
- Test I2C address 0x60: verify host communication before volume purchasing.
- Inspect pressure ports: reject contaminated or physically damaged sensor openings.
- Review lifecycle: determine whether remaining MPL3115A2 module supply is sufficient for the planned production lifetime.
EEAT Review Notice
MCU-3115 is a module-level product built around the MPL3115A2 sensor. Board-level voltage, PCB layout, pin arrangement and auxiliary components should be verified against the actual supplied board.
MPL3115A2 semiconductor-level pressure, altitude, temperature, I2C and electrical specifications should be checked against the applicable manufacturer datasheet before final design release.
Current lifecycle note: NXP announced transfer of its MEMS sensor portfolio to STMicroelectronics effective February 2026. The original MPL3115A2 is identified as discontinued, so current sourcing and successor availability should be reviewed for new or long-lifecycle designs.
Module verification basis: Actual MCU-3115 product sample supplied for this product page, including front and rear PCB markings.
