ZSSC3138
Sensor Signal Conditioner for Ceramic Sensor Applications
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC3138 is a member of the ZSSC313x
product family of CMOS integrated circuits designed
for automotive/ industrial sensor applications. All
family members are well suited for highly accurate
amplification and sensor-specific correction of
resistive bridge sensor signals. An internal 16-bit
RISC microcontroller running a correction algorithm
compensates sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature
drift, and non-linearity of the connected sensor
element. The required calibration coefficients are
stored by the one-pass calibration procedure on chip
(EEPROM).

Family approach offers the best fitting IC selection to build cost-optimized applications
No external trimming components required
Low number of external components needed
PC-controlled configuration and one-pass/
end-of-line calibration via I²C™* or ZACwire™
interface: simple, cost efficient, quick, and precise
High accuracy (0.25% FSO** @ -25 to +85°C;
0.5% FSO @ -40 to +125°C)
Optimized for automotive/industrial environments
due to robust protection circuitries, excellent
electromagnetic compatibility and AEC-Q100
qualification

The ZSSC3138 offers a maximum analog gain of
420 and two offset compensation features. These fit
perfectly with the requirements of ceramic thick-filmbased sensor elements as well as strain gauges.
The high amplification in combination with the offset
compensation offers the capability to set up ceramic
thick-film-based sensor applications without laser
trimming, which leads to better long-term stability.

Sensor Signal Conditioner for Ceramic Sensor Applications

2.1.
Circuit Description
Signal Flow
The ZSSC3138’s signal path is partly analog and partly digital. The analog section is differential – this means the
differential bridge sensor signal is internally handled via two signal lines that are rejected symmetrically around an
internal common mode potential (analog ground = VDDA/2).
As a result of the differential design, it is possible to amplify positive and negative input signals that are within the
common mode range of the signal input.

The differential signal from the bridge sensor is pre-amplified by the programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The
multiplexer (MUX) transmits the signals from either the bridge sensor or the internal temperature sensor to the
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a specific sequence. The ADC converts these signals into digital values.

ZSSC3138
Sensor Signal Conditioner for Ceramic Sensor Applications
The digital signal conditioning is processed by the calibration microcontroller (CMC). It is based on a correction
formula that uses sensor-specific coefficients determined during calibration. The formula is located in ROM, and
the sensor-specific coefficients are stored in EEPROM. Depending on the programmed output configuration, the
conditioned sensor signal is output as an analog signal, or alternatively can be readout via a digital serial interface
(I²C™ or ZACwire™). The configuration data and the correction parameters must also be programmed into the
EEPROM via the digital interfaces.
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: 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 must be selected.
 Extended analog 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: The A/D converter must be configured for resolution. The ADC order (first or
second order) must also be configured. These settings influence the sampling rate and the signal
integration time, and thus, the noise immunity.

Temperature
 Temperature measurement
2.3.
Analog Front-End (AFE)
The analog front-end (AFE) consists of the three-stage programmable gain amplifier (PGA), the multiplexer
(MUX), and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

2.3.2.
Offset Compensation
The ZSSC3138 processes a sensor-offset correction during the digital signal conditioning by the calibration
microcontroller (CMC).
The ZSSC3138 also supports an extended analog zero compensation (XZC) for large offsets up to a maximum of
approximately 300% of signal span, depending on the gain adjustment (Table 2.2). This prevents overdriving the
analog signal path in the case of a large sensor offset by adding a compensation voltage to the second
amplification stage.

Analog-to-Digital Converter
The A/D converter is implemented using full-differential switched-capacitor technique.

Programmable ADC resolutions are rADC=<13, 14>bit. The ZSSC3138 supports <15, 16>bit resolution with
range zooming.
The A/D conversion is integrating, inherently monotone, and insensitive to short and long term instability of the
clock frequency. The conversion time tADC depends on the desired resolution and can be roughly calculated by

The ZSSC3138 supports a high sample rate ADC mode (2-step conversion) with the advantage of a much shorter
conversion time but with the drawback of a lower noise immunity caused by the shorter signal integration time.
The conversion time tADC,2step in this mode is roughly calculated by equation (2):

Refer to the ZSSC313x Bandwidth Calculation Sheet for a detailed calculation of sampling time and bandwidth.
The result of the A/D conversion is a relative counter result Z corresponding to the following equation:
Z  2rADC  (

 RS)
(3)
Where
rADC

RS
Digital ADC Range Shift (RS = 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2; controlled by the EEPROM contents)
With the RS value, a sensor input signal can be shifted in the optimal input range of the ADC.
The condition required for ensuring the specified accuracy, stability, and non-linearity parameters of the analog
front-end is that the differential ADC input voltage VADC_DIFF does not exceed the range of 10% to 90% of the ADC
reference voltage VADC_REF. This requirement must be met for the whole temperature range and for all sensor
tolerances.

Startup Phase
1
After power-on, the startup phase is processed, which includes

Internal supply voltage settling including reset of the circuitry by the power-on reset block (POR).
Refer to the ZSSC313x High Voltage Protection Description for power-on/off thresholds.
Duration (beginning with VVDDA-VVSSA=0V): 500µs to 2ms; AOUT: high impedance.

System start and configuration, EEPROM readout, and signature check.
Duration: ~200µs; AOUT: lower diagnostic range (LDR).

Processing the measurement cycle start routine.
Duration: 5x A/D conversion time; AOUT behavior depends on configured one-wire communication mode
(refer to section 2.6):
OWIANA or OWIDIS  AOUT: lower diagnostic range (LDR)
OWIWIN or OWIENA  AOUT: tri-state
If an error is detected during the startup phase, the Diagnostic Mode (DM) is activated and the analog output at
the AOUT pin remains in the lower diagnostic range.
After the startup phase, the continuous running measurement and sensor signal conditioning cycle is started, and
analog or digital output of the conditioned sensor signal is activated. If the one-wire communication mode
OWIWIN is selected, the OWI startup window expires before analog output is available.
2.5.3.
Conditioning Calculation
The digitalized value for the bridge signal is processed with a conditioning formula to remove offset and
rd
temperature dependency and to compensate nonlinearity up to 3 order. The result is a non-negative 15-bit value
for the measured bridge sensor signal in the range [0; 1). This value is available for readout via I²C or OWI
communication. For the analog output, the value is clipped to the programmed output limits.
Note: The extent of signal deviation that can be compensated by the conditioning calculation depends on the
specific sensor signal characteristics. For a rough estimation, assume the following: offset compensation
and gain correction are not limited. Notice that resolution of the digitally gained signal is determined by
the ADC resolution in respect to the dynamic input range used. The temperature correction includes first
and second order terms and should be adequate for all practically relevant cases. The non-linearity
correction of the sensor signal is possible for second-order up to about 30% FS regarding ideal fit and for
third-order up to about 20% FS. Overall, the conditioning formula applied is able to reduce the nonlinearity of the sensor signal by a factor of 10.

All timing values are roughly estimated for an oscillator frequency fOSC=3MHz and are proportional to that frequency.

2.6.
Analog or Digital Output
The AOUT pin is used for analog output and for one-wire communication (OWI). The latter can be used for digital
readout of the conditioned sensor signal and for end-of-line sensor module calibration. The ZSSC3138 supports
different modes for the analog output in interaction with OWI communication:

OWIENA:
Analog output is deactivated; OWI readout of the signal data is enabled.

OWIWIN:
Analog output starts after the startup phase and after the OWI startup window if OWI
communication is not initiated; OWI communication for configuration or for end-of-line
calibration can be started during the OWI startup window (maximum ~500ms) by sending the
START_CM command.

OWIANA:
Analog output starts after the startup phase; OWI communication for configuration or for endof-line calibration can be started during the OWI startup window (maximum ~500ms) by
sending the START_CM command; for command transmission, the driven analog output at
the AOUT pin must be overwritten by the external communication master (AOUT drive
capability is current-limited).

OWIDIS:
Analog output starts after the startup phase; OWI readout of the signal data is disabled.
The analog output signal is driven by an offset compensated, rail-to-rail output buffer that is current-limited to
prevent damage to the ZSSC3138 from a short circuit between the analog output and power supply or ground.
Output resolution of at least 12-bit in the range of 10% to 90% FS is ensured by a 12.4-bit resistor string DAC.
2.7.
Serial Digital Interface
TM
TM
The ZSSC3138 includes a serial digital I²C interface and a ZACwire interface for one-wire communication
(OWI). The digital interfaces allow configuration and calibration of the sensor module. OWI communication can be
used to perform an end-of-line calibration via the analog output pin AOUT of a completely assembled sensor
module. The interfaces also provide the readout of the conditioned sensor signal data during normal operation.
Refer to the ZSSC313x Functional Description for a detailed description of the serial interfaces and the
communication protocols.
2.8.
Failsafe Features
The ZSSC3138 detects various failures. When a failure is detected, Diagnostic Mode (DM) is activated. DM is
indicated by setting the output pin AOUT to the Lower Diagnostic Range (LDR). When using digital serial
communication protocols (I²C™ or OWI) to read conditioning results data, the error status is indicated by a
specific error code.
A watchdog timer controls the proper operation of the microcontroller. The operation of the internal oscillator is
monitored by an oscillator-failure detection circuit. EEPROM and RAM content are checked when accessed.
Control registers are parity protected.
The sensor connection is checked with regard to broken wires or short circuits (sensor connection check, sensor
short check).
Refer to the ZSSC313x Functional Description for a detailed description of failsafe features and methods of error
indication.

High Voltage, Reverse Polarity, and Short Circuit Protection
The ZSSC3138 is designed for 5V power supply operation.
The ZSSC3138 and the connected sensor are protected from overvoltage and reverse polarity damage by an
internal supply voltage limiter. The analog output AOUT can be connected (short circuit, overvoltage, and reverse
polarity) with all potentials in the protection range under all potential conditions at the pins VDDE and VSSE.
To guarantee this operation, all external components (see application circuit in section 3) are required. The
protection is not time-limited.
