BMP585 absolute minimum rating and light effect

Dear Bosch Technical Teams,

I am reaching out with two  questions regarding the BMP585 sensor, as I am considering using it for an outdoor application exposed to sunlight with altitude variation.

  • Could you please confirm whether the sensor is sensitive to direct sunlight? Does direct sunlight creates an offset on pressure measured? I am asking this because the electronics components are just under the gel and can be affected by sunlight (already seen this effect on other pressures sensors using gel).
  • Additionally, can the sensor operate effectively under pressure conditions of 0.150 bars and 1.5 bars? I do understand that is not the usual working range but in another topic "BMP585 absolute maximum ratings" i found this answer :"The BMP585 can withstand a pressure of 2000000Pa without damage." thus a am wondering what is the lower limit.

Best regards 

Alexis
