ZSSC3170KIT

The ZSSC3170KIT is an evaluation kit for the evaluation of ZSSC3170 automotive sensor signal conditioner with LIN and PWM Interface. The ZSSC3170 is a CMOS integrated circuit for highly accurate amplification and sensor specific correction of bridge sensor signals. It has a maximum analog gain of 420, as well as extended offset compensation capabilities, the ZSSC3170 is adjustable to nearly all resistive bridge sensor types. Digital compensation of offset, sensitivity, temperature drift and non linearity is accomplished via a 16bit RISC microcontroller. Measured values are provided by one of the digital LIN or PWM interfaces. Each interface can support end of line calibration using the sensor output. Noise sensitivity is greatly reduced because the calibration equipment and the ZSSC3170 are mated digitally. SSC communication board is used in kit for interfacing communication between SSC and PC.
