    Abstract: A process pressure transmitter includes transmitter electronics disposed within a housing. The transmitter electronics includes a communications circuit coupled to a processing system and an analog to digital converter disposed within the housing. The analog to digital converter electrically is coupled to the transmitter electronics. A pressure sensor comprises a cell body defining an interior cavity. A deflectable diaphragm comprising a second material is coupled to the cell body and separates the interior cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. The deflectable diaphragm includes a groove region located around a periphery of the deflectable diaphragm. The first and second cavities each contain a dielectric fill-fluid, each of the fill fluids adapted to receive a pressure and exert a corresponding force on the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is deflectable in response to differences in the pressures received by the fill-fluids in the first and second cavities. A first electrode is capacitively coupled to the diaphragm to form a first variable capacitor and a first lead wire electrically connects to the first electrode. A second electrode is capacitively coupled to the diaphragm to form a second capacitor and a second lead wire is electrically coupled to the second electrode. The first and second lead wires are electrically coupled to the analog to digital converter.
