RENESAS ZSC31150GAB

The ZSC31150 is a CMOS integrated circuit for highly accurate amplification and sensor-specific correction of bridge sensor signals. Digital compensation of sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature drift, and non-linearity is accomplished via an internal 16-bit RISC microcontroller running a correction algorithm, with calibration coefficients stored in an EEPROM. The ZSC31150 is adjustable to nearly all bridge sensor types. Measured values are provided at the analog voltage output or at the digital ZACwire™ and I2C interface. The digital interface can be used for a simple PC-controlled calibration procedure in order to program a set of calibration coefficients into an on-chip EEPROM. A specific sensor and a ZSC31150 can be mated digitally: fast, precise, and without the cost overhead associated with trimming by external devices or a laser.
