Automotive Sensor Signal Conditioner
with LIN and PWM Interface
ZSSC3170
Datasheet
Brief Description
The ZSSC3170 is a CMOS integrated circuit for highly
accurate amplification and sensor specific correction
of bridge sensor signals. Featuring a maximum analog
gain of 420, as well as extended offset compensation
capabilities, the ZSSC3170 is adjustable to nearly all
resistive bridge sensor types.
Digital compensation of offset, sensitivity, temperature
drift, and nonlinearity is accomplished via a 16-bit
RISC microcontroller. Conditioning coefficients are
stored in an EEPROM certified for automotive appli-
cations.
Measured values are provided by one of the digital
LIN or PWM interfaces. Each interface can support
end-of-line calibration using the sensor output. Noise
sensitivity is greatly reduced because the calibration
equipment and the ZSSC3170 are mated digitally.
For quick and easy evaluation and support for
calibrating prototypes, IDT offers the ZSSC3170 SSC
Evaluation Kit, which includes evaluation hardware,
SSOP20 samples, and software.
Benefits

one output pin
Compatible with nearly all resistive bridge inputs
No external trimming components required
Single-pass calibration minimizes calibration costs
End-of-line calibration using sensor output
Optimized for automotive environments with
special protection circuitry, excellent electro-
magnetic compatibility, and numerous diagnostic
features; AEC-Q100-qualified

ZSSC3170 Characteristics
1.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. The device might not function or be operable above the
recommended 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 are valid without time limit unless otherwise noted.
