ZSSC3027
Low-Power 16-Bit Sensor Signal Conditioner IC
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC3027 is a sensor signal conditioner (SSC)
integrated circuit for high-accuracy amplification and
analog-to-digital conversion of a differential input
signal. Designed for high-resolution altimeter module
applications, the ZSSC3027 can perform offset,
st
nd
span, and 1 and 2 order temperature compensation of the measured signal. Developed for correction of resistive bridge sensors, it can also provide a
corrected temperature output measured with an
internal sensor.
The measured and corrected bridge values are
provided at the digital output pins, which can be
2
configured as I C™* (≤ 3.4MHz) or SPI (≤ 20MHz).
Digital compensation of signal offset, sensitivity,
temperature, and non-linearity is accomplished via
an 18-bit internal digital signal processor (DSP) running a correction algorithm. Calibration coefficients
are stored on-chip in a highly reliable, non-volatile,
multiple-time programmable (MTP) memory. Programming the ZSSC3027 is simple via the serial
interface. The IC-internal charge pump provides the
MTP programming voltage. The interface is used for
the PC-controlled calibration procedure, which programs the set of calibration coefficients in memory.
The ZSSC3027 provides accelerated signal processing in order to support high-speed control, safety,
and real-time sensing applications. It complements
ZMDI’s ZSSC30x6 products.
