ZSC31150
Fast Automotive Sensor Signal Conditioner
Brief Description
The ZSC31150 is a CMOS integrated circuit for
highly accurate amplification and sensor-specific
correction of bridge sensor signals. Digital com-
pensation of sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature
drift, and non-linearity is accomplished via an inter-
nal 16-bit RISC microcontroller running a correction
algorithm, with calibration coefficients stored in an
EEPROM.
The ZSC31150 is adjustable to nearly all bridge sen-
sor types. Measured values are provided at the
analog voltage output or at the digital ZACwire™
and I²C™* interface. The digital interface can be
used for a simple PC-controlled calibration proce-
dure in order to program a set of calibration coeffi-
cients into an on-chip EEPROM. A specific sensor
and a ZSC31150 can be mated digitally: fast,
precise, and without the cost overhead associated
with trimming by external devices or a laser.
Benefits
No external trimming components required
Only a few external protection devices needed
PC-controlled configuration and single pass
calibration via I²C™ or ZACwire™ interface:
simple, cost efficient, quick, and precise
End-of-line calibration via I²C™ or ZACwire™
interface
High accuracy (0.25% FSO @ -25 to 85°C; 0.5%
FSO @ -40 to 125°C)
Excellent EMC/ESD robustness and AEC-Q100
qualification
