A MEMS air pressure sensor system is proposed in the paper, which can monitor the air pressure by means of measuring the discharge time of the sensor. The system contains two parts: the MEMS air pressure sensor and the data acquisition system. The MEMS air pressure sensor is an enhanced pizeoresistive pressure sensor. The data acquisition system contains a time-to-digital part, which measures time interval by using of the propagation delays of logical gates. The time-to-digital part can measure the resistors’ discharge time and turn it into digital output, when the resistors on the air pressure sensor are connected to a capacitor which is full of charge. The discharge time is only related to the resistor, and then the pressure measurement is changed to time measurement. The digital output is shown through a liquid crystal display screen.
