RENESAS ZSSC3154BA3R

The ZSSC3154 is an integrated circuit for highly accurate amplification and sensor-specific correction of a bridge sensor signal. Up to two temperature sensors can also be read in parallel. The circuitry provides different configurations of the analog outputs to show two measurement results simultaneously. This also allows generating a complementary bridge sensor signal, which is often a requirement in safety-relevant applications. The ZSSC3154 can measure and process two external temperature sensors to compensate the temperature drift of the bridge sensor signal and to output a separate temperature signal. An integrated calibration microcontroller with an onchip EEPROM performs the digital compensation of the sensor offset, the sensitivity, the temperature drift, and the nonlinearity of a sensor signal. The single-pass, digital end-of-line calibration combined with the integrated broken-chip detection supports automatic and highly efficient mass production.
