ZSSC3122
cLite™ Low Voltage Capacitive Sensor Signal Conditioner
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC3122 is a CMOS integrated circuit for
accurate capacitance-to-digital conversion and
sensor-specific correction of capacitive sensor signals. Digital compensation of sensor offset, sensitivity, and temperature drift is accomplished via an
internal digital signal processor running a correction
algorithm with calibration coefficients stored in a
non-volatile EEPROM.
The ZSSC3122 is configurable for capacitive sensors with capacitances up to 10pF and a sensitivity
of 125aF/LSB. It is compatible with both single
capacitive sensors (both terminals must be
accessible) and differential capacitive sensors.
Measured and corrected sensor values can be

*
output as I C™ , SPI, PDM, or alarms.

The I C™ interface can be used for a simple PCcontrolled calibration procedure to program a set of
calibration coefficients into an on-chip EEPROM.
The calibrated ZSSC3122 and a specific sensor are
mated digitally: fast, precise, and without the cost
overhead of trimming by external devices or laser.
