ZSC31010
General Documents
Brief Description
The ZSC31010 is a CMOS integrated circuit, which enables easy and precise calibration of resistive bridge sensors via EEPROM. When mated to a resistive bridge sensor, it will digitally calibrate offset and gain with the option to calibrate offset and gain coefficients and linearity over temperature. A second order compensation can be enabled for temperature coefficients of gain or offset or bridge linearity. ZSC31010 communicates via ZMDI’s ZACwire™ serial interface to the host computer and is easily mass calibrated in a Windows™ environment. Once calibrated, the output SIGnal pin™ can provide selectable 0 to 1 V, ratiometric analog ouput, digital serial output of bridge data, and optionally with bridge and temperature data.
