ZSSC3154
Automotive Sensor Signal Conditioner with Dual Analog Output
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC3154 is an integrated circuit for highly
accurate amplification and sensor-specific correction
of a bridge sensor signal. Up to two temperature
sensors can also be read in parallel.

The ZSSC3154 can measure and process two external temperature sensors to compensate the temperature drift of the bridge sensor signal and to output a
separate temperature signal.
An integrated calibration microcontroller with an onchip EEPROM performs the digital compensation of
the sensor offset, the sensitivity, the temperature
drift, and the nonlinearity of a sensor signal.
The single-pass, digital end-of-line calibration combined with the integrated broken-chip detection supports automatic and highly efficient mass production.

The circuitry provides different configurations of the
analog outputs to show two measurement results
simultaneously. This also allows generating a complementary bridge sensor signal, which is often a
requirement in safety-relevant applications.

Bridge sensor signal validation for safety
applications via two antivalent analog outputs or
via half-bridge sensor measurement output
Simultaneous measurement of sensor signals,
including temperature signal for compensation
and for temperature output
Efficient use of non-calibrated elements for
bridge sensors and temperature sensors without
external trimming components
Single-pass end-of-line calibration algorithm
minimizes production costs
Excellent EMC/ESD robustness and AEC-Q100

Electrical Characteristics
1.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. The ZSSC3154 might not function or be operable above
the recommended operating conditions. 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. ZMDI does not recommend designing to the “Absolute Maximum Ratings.”
Parameters apply in operating temperature range and without time limitations.

Circuit Description
2.1 Signal Flow
The ZSSC3154 signal path consists of the analog front-end (AFE), the digital signal processing unit, two analog
output stages, the one-wire interface (OWI) and an overvoltage protection circuitry. Based on a differential
structure, the bridge inputs VBP and VBN are handled by two signal lines, each with a dynamic range symmetrical to the common mode potential (analog ground equal to VDDA/2). Therefore, it is possible to amplify
positive and negative input signals within the common mode range of the signal input. The input signals are
selected by the input multiplexer.

ZSSC3154
Automotive Sensor Signal Conditioner with Dual Analog Output
The multiplexer (MUX) transmits the signals from either the bridge sensor or from the selected temperature
sensor to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a defined sequence. The temperature sensors can either be
external diodes, external thermistors (RTD), or an internal diode selected by EEPROM configuration. The
differential signal from the bridge sensors is pre-amplified by the programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The ADC
converts these signals into digital values.
The digital signal correction is processed in the calibration microcontroller (CMC) using a ROM-resident correction
formula and sensor-specific coefficients stored in the EEPROM during calibration. The configuration data and the
correction parameters can be programmed into the EEPROM by digital one-wire communication at the main
2
output pin or by digital communication via the I C™ interface. During the calibration procedure the digital interface
can provide measurement values as well.
The conditioned bridge sensor signal is always output as a continuous analog signal at the main output pin.
Depending on the programmed configuration, there are several output modes for the second analog output pin;
e.g., output the inverse bridge sensor signal, output the conditioned temperature signal, or output the half-bridge
sensor signal.
2.2 Application Modes
For each application, a configuration set must be established by programming the on-chip EEPROM for the
following modes:
 Sensor channel
 Input range: Select the gain adjustment of the analog front-end (AFE) with respect to the maximum
sensor signal span and the zero point of the A/D conversion.
 Analog sensor offset compensation (XZC): If required, this compensates large sensor offsets; e.g., if the
sensor offset voltage is near to or larger than the sensor span.
 Resolution/response time: Configure the A/D converter resolution. These settings influence the sampling
rate and the signal integration time, and therefore the noise immunity.
 Temperature
 Temperature measurement for the calibration: Select the internal or external temperature sensor for the
compensation of temperature-related bridge sensor signal deviations.
 Temperature measurement for the temperature output: Select the internal or external temperature
sensor for the temperature measurement.
 Output
 Output signals: Assign the measured and conditioned signals to the second analog output;
e.g., inverse bridge sensor signal, temperature signal, or half-bridge sensor signal.
 Output mode: Select the output mode for the second analog output; e.g., continuous signal or sequential
analog output.

2.3 System Control
2.3.1
Main System Tasks
The calibration microcontroller (CMC) is the central system control unit and supports the following tasks and
features:
 Manage the startup sequence
 Control the measurement cycle regarding to the EEPROM-stored configuration data
 Process the signal conditioning calculation (16-bit calculation for the measured signals using the
ROM-resident signal conditioning formulas and the EEPROM-stored conditioning coefficients)
 Assign the conditioned output values to the analog outputs and control the output behavior
 Process the communication requests received via the digital interfaces
 Perform failsafe tasks and indicate detected errors by setting analog outputs to the diagnostic fault band
2.3.2
General Working Modes
The ZSSC3154 supports three different working modes:
 Normal Operation Mode (NOM) – for continuous processing of the signal conditioning
 Command Mode (CM) – for configuration and calibration and for access to all internal registers
 Diagnostic Mode (DM) – for failure messages
2.4 Normal Operation Mode
A configured and calibrated ZSSC3154 starts the Normal Operation Mode (NOM) immediately after power-on if
there is no communication request within a startup window (refer to the ZSSC3154 Functional Description for
details). It consists of a startup phase, the measurement cycle, the conditioning calculation, and the analog output
for the sensor signals.
2.4.1
Startup Phase
After power-on, the startup phase is processed, which includes




Settling of the internal supply voltages including the reset of the circuitry
System start and configuration, EEPROM readout, and signature check
ROM check, if enabled
Processing the measurement cycle start routine including all measurements to provide the configured
output signals
 One-wire communication window
If an error is detected during the startup phase, the Diagnostic Mode (DM) is activated and the analog output at
the AOUT1 and AOUT2 pins remains in the diagnostic fault band range.

2.5 Bridge Sensor Measurement
The ZSSC3154's main task is measuring a differential bridge sensor signal. The signal path is ratiometric and fully
differential. The ratiometric reference voltage V REF is equal (VBR_T – VBR_B). The internal offset of the analog frontend is eliminated by an auto-zero compensation.
The bridge sensor signal value is processed by a conditioning calculation to correct the temperature-dependent
gain and to compensate the temperature-dependent offset and the nonlinearity up to 3rd order. The conditioning
coefficients are stored in the EEPROM. For a detailed description of the bridge signal conditioning formula refer to
the ZSSC3154 Functional Description.
2.6 Temperature Measurement
The ZSSC3154 supports different methods for acquiring temperature data needed for the conditioning of the
sensor signal as well as for a separate temperature measurement:
 an internal pn-junction temperature sensor,
 an external pn-junction temperature sensor connected to the sensor top potential (pin VBR_T), or
 an external resistive half-bridge temperature sensor connected at the top with 1:10 resistance ratio.
Recommend resistive sensors are Pt1000, Pt10000, and Cu or Ni based positive-temperature-coefficient resistive
temperature devices (PTC RTDs); e.g., KTY series.
The internal offset of the analog-front end is eliminated by an auto-zero compensation.
The temperature value is processed by a conditioning calculation to correct the gain and to compensate the offset
and the 2nd order nonlinearity. The conditioning coefficients are stored in the EEPROM. For a detailed description
of the temperature conditioning formula, refer to the ZSSC3154 Functional Description.
2.7 Half-Bridge Sensor Measurement
The ZSSC3154 supports measuring a half-bridge sensor signal referenced to an internal reference potential. The
signal path is ratiometric and fully differential. The ratiometric reference voltage V REF is equal (VVBR_T - VVBR_B).
The half-bridge sensor signal value is processed by a conditioning calculation to correct the temperaturedependent gain and to compensate the temperature-dependent offset and the 2nd order nonlinearity. The
conditioning coefficients are stored in the EEPROM. For a detailed description of the half-bridge signal
conditioning formula, refer to the ZSSC3154 Functional Description.

Span is calculated by the following formula: VIN_SPAN = 0.8 (VVBR_T – VVBR_B) / aIN.
2)
Refer to section 2.8.2 for an explanation of the analog offset compensation.
Recommendation: To achieve the best stability and linearity performance of the AFE, operate the PGA in a
voltage range within 10% to 90% of the ratiometric reference voltage VREF = (VVBR_T – VVBR_B). The gain must be
selected to guarantee this constraint for the entire operating temperature range of the application and for the
specified sensor bridge tolerances.

Offset Compensation
The ZSSC3154 supports two methods for sensor offset compensation:
 Digital offset correction is processed during the signal conditioning calculation by the calibration microcontroller (CMC).
 Extended analog offset compensation (XZC) is achieved by adding a compensation voltage into the analog
signal path. This removes large offsets up to 300% of signal span and prevents overdriving the analog
signal path.

2.11 Failsafe Features
ZSSC3154 provides various failsafe tasks to control the proper function of the device and the connected sensors:





Observation of sensors: bridge sensor aging, connection, and short check; temperature sensor check
Observation of analog front-end (AFE): AFE built-in self-test; AFE overdrive control
Observation of digital control unit: oscillator-fail detection; watchdog; arithmetic check
Observation of memory content: EEPROM and ROM signatures, RAM and registers parity checks
Observation of chip: supply power and ground loss, broken-chip check
For a detailed description of failsafe tasks and their configuration, refer to ZSSC3154 Functional Description.
When a failure is detected, the Diagnostic Mode (DM) is activated. The AOUT1 and AOUT2 analog outputs are
set to the diagnostic fault band (DFB). The DFB output level must be selected by the wiring of the DFBH pin. If the
DFBH pin is open, the outputs are switched to the diagnostic fault band level LOW. If the DFBH pin is connected
to VSSA, the outputs are switched to the diagnostic fault band level HIGH. The selected DFB mode should match
the connected load resistances at the analog outputs to reduce power loss if the diagnostic mode is activated.
2.12 Overvoltage and Short Circuit Protection
The ZSSC3154 is designed for a 5V (±10%) supply provided by an electronic control unit (ECU). Internal subassemblies are supplied and protected by integrated voltage regulators and limiters up to a supply voltage of
7.7V. The two analog output stages are protected by current limiters against short circuits to an external supply or
ground. These functions are described in detail in ZSSC3154 Application Note – Power Management.
ZSSC3154 protection features are guaranteed without time limit when the device is operated in the application
circuits shown in section 3.
