Sensor Signal Conditioner for
Piezoresistive Bridge Sensors
ZSSC3135
Datasheet
Brief Description
The ZSSC3135 is a member of the ZSSC313x
family of CMOS integrated circuits designed for
automotive/industrial sensor applications. All family
members are well suited for highly accurate amp-
lification and sensor-specific correction of resistive
bridge sensor signals. An internal 16-bit RISC
microcontroller running a correction algorithm
compensates sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature
drift, and non-linearity of the connected sensor
element. The required calibration coefficients are
stored by the one-pass calibration procedure in an
on-chip EEPROM.
The ZSSC3135 is specially designed for piezo-
resistive bridge sensor elements. The amplification
stage with an analog gain of 105 in combination with
optional temperature compensation via an external
temperature sensor meets or exceeds the require-
ments of piezoresistive sensor applications.

Electrical Characteristics
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Note:
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. The device might not function or be operable above
the operating conditions given in section 1.2. Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings might also
damage the device. In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions
might affect device reliability. IDT does not recommend designing to the “Absolute Maximum Ratings.”
Parameters apply in operation temperature range and without time limitations.

Maximum operation temperature range depends on product version (refer to section 8).
See the temperature profile description in the
ZSSC313x Technical Note—Die & Package Dimensions.
No measurement in mass production; parameter is guaranteed by design and/or quality observation.
Symmetric behavior and identical electrical properties (especially the low pass characteristic) of both sensor inputs of the ZSSC3135 are required.
Unsymmetrical conditions of the sensor and/or external components connected to the sensor input pins of the ZSSC3135 can generate a failure in
signal operation.
