Hello,
I'm trying to learn some basics about IC pins. I'm using at this IPS (Integrated Pressure Sensor) as an example:
https://electronic-engineering.ch/microchip/datasheets/sensors/MPX4100A.pdf
What is:
V1 -
V2 -
VCC -
VEX -
VOUT - how is this different to VCC?
I'm also quite stumped as to the meaning of the decoupling diagram on page 3. Is this related to the pins at all? I started reading about decoupling capacitance but it's a bit over my head at the moment, is there a logical step that I should be reading prior to looking into decoupling capacitors? I'm guessing this has something to do with transistors and the change of signal from 0 to Voltage High and back from Voltage high to 0?
