The BMP180 is the function compatible successor of the BMP085, a new generation of high precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications.
The ultra-low power, low voltage electronics of the BMP180 is optimized for use in mobile phones, PDAs, GPS navigation devices and outdoor equipment. With a low altitude noise of merely 0.25m at fast conversion time, the BMP180 offers superior performance. The I2C interface allows for easy system integration with a microcontroller.
The BMP180 is based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability.
Key features
Pressure range: 300 … 1100hPa (+9000m … -500m relating to sea level)
Supply voltage: 1.8 … 3.6V (VDD)
Package: LGA package with metal lid
Small footprint: 3.6mm x 3.8mm
Super-flat: 0.93mm height
Low power: 5µA at 1 sample / sec. in standard mode
Low noise: 0.06hPa (0.5m) in ultra low power mode and 0.02hPa (0.17m) advanced resolution mode
This is a picture of the breakout I used
Here is a quick wiring diagram, the critical thing here is that VCC is 3.3v
