New ZSSC3008 SSIC Includes Diagnostics

zssc3008The ZSSC3008 is a sensor signal conditioner IC that is adjustable to nearly all piezo-resistive bridge sensors. Measured and corrected bridge values are provided at the SIG pin, which can be configured as an analog voltage output or as a one-wire serial digital output.

 

The digital one-wire interface (OWI) can be used for a simple PC-controlled calibration procedure to program a set of calibration coefficients into an on-chip EEPROM. The calibrated ZSSC3008 and a specific sensor are mated digitally: fast, precise, and without the cost overhead associated with trimming by external devices or laser. Integrated diagnostics functions make the ZSSC3008 particularly well-suited for automotive applications that do not require AEC-Q100 qualification. Additional applications include various electronic, industrial and instrumentation products.

New SSIC Product & Pricing Guide & White Paper
We have added to our series of Product & Pricing Guides with the addition of our new SSIC presentation. This 5 minute overview provides product details on various SSIC's we have available for analog and capacitive inputs. Estimated pricing is also included on most models.

Download the SSIC Product & Pricing Guide here!

Next, we have released a white paper on our web site titled "Optimizing the Calibration of Sensor Interfaces with Built-In Correction Algorithms." Published in Sensors Magazine, this white paper discusses how sensor signal conditioners with build-in correction algorithms can greatly aid designers as long as they understand which algorithm to use.
