Integrated Device Technology High-End 24-Bit Sensor Signal Conditioner IC ZSSC3224BI2B

The ZSSC3224 is a sensor signal conditioner ( SSC ) IC for high-accuracy amplification and analog-to digital conversion of a differential or pseudo-differential input signal. Designed for high-resolution sensor module applications, the ZSSC3224 can perform offset, span, and 1st and 2nd order temperature compensation of the measured signal. Developed for correction of resistive bridge or absolute voltage sensors, it can also provide a corrected temperature output measured with an internal sensor. The measured and corrected sensor values are provided at the digital output pins, which can be configured as I2C (≤ 3.4MHz) or SPI (≤ 20MHz). Digital compensation of signal offset, sensitivity, temperature, and non-linearity is accomplished via a 26-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 ZSSC3224 is simple via the serial interface. The interface is used for the PC -controlled calibration procedure, which programs the set of calibration coefficients in memory. The ZSSC3224 provides accelerated signal processing, increased resolution, and improved noise immunity in order to support high-speed control, safety, and real-time sensing applications with the highest requirements for energy efficiency.
