ZSC31014
RBiciLiteTM Digital Output Sensor Signal Conditioner
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSC31014 is a CMOS integrated circuit for
highly accurate amplification and analog-to-digital
conversion of differential and half-bridge input
signals. The ZSC31014 can compensate the meast
nd
st
sured signal for offset, 1 and 2 order span, and 1
nd
and 2 order temperature (Tco and Tcg). It is well
suited for sensor-specific correction of bridge sensors. Digital compensation of signal offset,
sensitivity, temperature drift, and non-linearity is
accomplished via an internal digital signal processor
running a correction algorithm with calibration
coefficients stored in a non-volatile EEPROM.

The ZSC31014 is adjustable to nearly all piezoresistive bridge sensors. Measured and corrected
bridge values are provided at digital output pins,
2
which can be configured as I C™* or SPI. The digital
2
I C™ interface can be used for a simple PCcontrolled calibration procedure to program calibration coefficients into an on-chip EEPROM. The
calibrated ZSC31014 and a specific sensor are
mated digitally: fast, precise, and without the cost
overhead associated with trimming by external
devices or laser trimming.
Available Support
The ZSC31014’s integrated diagnostics functions
are well suited for safety-critical applications.

Features
Simple PC-controlled configuration and single2
pass digital calibration via I C™ interface – quick
and precise; SPI option for measurement mode
Eliminates need for external trimming
components
On-chip diagnostic features add safety to the
application (e.g., EEPROM signature, bridge
connection checks, bridge short detection).
