ZSSC3138
Datasheet
Brief Description
The ZSSC3138 is a member of the ZSSC313x
product family of CMOS integrated circuits designed
for automotive/ industrial sensor applications. All
family members are well suited for highly accurate
amplification 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 on chip
(EEPROM).
The ZSSC3138 offers a maximum analog gain of
420 and two offset compensation features. These fit
perfectly with the requirements of ceramic thick-film-
based sensor elements as well as strain gauges.
The high amplification in combination with the offset
compensation offers the capability to set up ceramic
thick-film-based sensor applications without laser
trimming, which leads to better long-term stability.

Maximum operation temperature range depends on product version (refer to section 8).
See the temperature profile description in the
ZSSC313x Dice Package Document.
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 ZSSC3138 are required.
Unsymmetrical conditions of the sensor and/or external components connected to the sensor input pins of the ZSSC3138 can generate a failure in
signal operation.
