To answer pauls questions: 1. This is the sensor I'm using from digi-key: MSP6800-ND 2. It's 0-5 psi guage. 3. All I need to detect is any negative pressure at all (so very low res.) Thanks for the advice dwayne, but I need really low res and sorry my error on the '627 mistook the comparator. My new ideas are: 1. Using the circuit from the following url and an 16C711. http://www.linear-tech.com/pdf/2053i.pdf 2. Or using the 627 and a ADC0831. Opinions?
