Exercise 1 (General model, specifications and errors: pressure sensor)

We find for the pressure sensor MPXM2202A Series :
- The input range : = 200
- Sensitivity : = 0.2 /
- The output range : = = 40

Note that the sensor is used in a pressure range [80; 120] and a temperature range =
30 centered on the reference temperature. The extent of the voltage used corresponds to =
[16; 24] . In addition, the sensor piezoresistive is conditioned by a Wheatstone bridge (see datasheet
notes 2: ratiometric , ).

The desired size : the pressure in : = =
