ZSC31050
0-to-10V Analog Output

Introduction
In the circuit design described in this application note, the analog output voltage of the ZSC31050 is shifted into
the range of 0 to 10 VDC by external circuitry creating a voltage-to-current-to-voltage converter consisting of four
resistors (R5 to R7 and RC2), a capacitor (RC1), and two bipolar transistors (T2 and T3) as shown in Figure 1.1.
T2 is a common NPN-type transistor (e.g., BC847); there are no special requirements to be considered. T3 is a
PNP-type transistor; the type depends on the power dissipation at the maximum ambient temperature TAMB_max
with the maximum supply voltage VSUPP_max, the maximum output load current IOUT_max, and the output voltage
VOUT. The required power dissipation rating for T3 at TAMB_max can be calculated with equation (1).

Figure 1.1 provides the basic schematic for this application. VOUT_NR is the non-ratiometric output voltage. See
section 3 for details on components. Note that component values vary depending on the output configuration.
Figure 1.1
0V to 10V Analog Output / 4-20mA Current Loop Schematic
With the current loop output, the analog 2-wire-interface is connected to V+ and V-. The ZACwire™ (one-wire;
OWI) interface communicates via VOUT referenced to VSS using an isolated communication module with a pullup resistor at VOUT, which is supplied by a voltage equal to VDDA. For more details regarding current-loop applications and the ZACwire™ interface, see ZSC31050 Application Note–Two-Wire Current Loop Output (section 4).
With all analog voltage output configurations, V- is shorted to VSS via R3 = 0 Ω.
For protection against reverse polarity at low voltage drops, a PMOS-enhancement transistor with sufficient gateto-source voltage could be used instead of D1 or R1.

Application Configuration
The configuration is determined by the programming of the ZSC31050 and by the placement and value of the
external parts given in the schematics in Figure 1.1 and Figure 2.1. For full details for programming and
configuration of the ZSC31050 with the SSC Evaluation Kit, see the ZSC31050 Evaluation Kit Description.
2.1.
Schematic Circuit
A three-wire solution for 0V to 10V analog output using the ZACwire™ interface can be achieved by modifications
implemented in the schematic in Figure 2.1. The logic will separate the analog and digital signal paths depending
on the operational mode. In the resulting circuit, the reduction in the number of connection wires achieved by
adding a few components to the schematic reduces installation and maintenance costs.

0-to-10V Analog Output
Additional configuration of the ZSC31050 is needed to ensure proper triggering of the switch. See section 2.3 for
the configuration settings using the ZSC31050 SSC Evaluation Kit Software. The IO2 port mode must be enabled
as ALARM2 and active HIGH (EEPROM register 1BHEX), and the alarm threshold must be set to FFF9HEX
(EEPROM register 13HEX). With these settings, the IO2 pin switches state from HIGH during the 20ms startup
window to LOW when entering the Normal Operation Mode (NOM). This behavior can be used to trigger and
open the communication channel for the ZACwire™ interface. Within the 20ms window, if a START_CM
command is received, the communication channel stays open in Command Mode (CM); otherwise the ZSC31050
enters the Normal Operating Mode (NOM) and the analog output is active.
The addition of the T4 MOSFET ensures there will not be a high voltage signal at pin 1 (B2) of IC1 before the T2
and T3 transistors conduct. A pull-up resistor must be connected to the IO2 pin in order to achieve the logic-high
level during start-up window. When programming the device, an additional pull-up must be implemented on the
Vout line from the programming microcontroller (D6 and R13).
A temperature measurement can be implemented using the D3 diode.

Output Voltage Adjustment VOUT
The following procedures will compensate components’ parameter variations in order to achieve the desired
output voltage of 0-10V.

Calibration and coefficient calculation (initial targets: 10% and 90%)

Analog output measurement

Re-adjustment of target values (manual calculation via equation (2)) and limit values and calculation of
the new coefficient

VOUT  VSET
New_Target  Initial_Target  
 VSET_MAX  VSET_MIN


 * (Target_max%  Target_min%)


(2)
For example, re-calculation of the maximum target can be done based on the measured output 10.15V and initial
calibration targets 10% and 90% as demonstrated in equation (3):
 10.15V  10V 
New_Target  90%  
 * (90%  10%)  88.8%
 10V  0V 
(3)
For adjustment of the minimum signal calibration target, the sensor signal must be set to a level that results in
10% output or 1.11V for the above example (considering that 10V equals 90% output). After raw data acquisition,
the above formula for calculating the adjusted targets can be applied for fine-tuning the output.
