IDT’s ZSSC416x/ZSSC417x is a family of CMOSintegrated circuits for highly accurate amplificationand sensor-specific correction of differential bridgesensor signals. Featuring a maximum analog pre-amplificationin the range of 150 to 200, this productis adjustable to nearly all resistive bridges as well asvoltage source sensor types; e.g.,thermocouples.

Digital compensation of offset, sensitivity, temperaturedrift, and nonlinearity is accomplished with a16-bit RISC microcontroller. Calibration coefficientsand configuration data are stored in the ZSSC416x/ZSSC417x non-volatile memory (NVM), which isreliable in automotive applications.

Measured values can be read via a digital SENT orI2C?* interface. The SENT interface enables transmissionof sensor data via its fast channel as well assupplementary data via its“slow”Serial Data Message(SDM) channel using only one output pin. Endof-line calibration is supported via an I2C? interfaceor via a One-Wire Interface (OWI) through the dataoutput pin (DOUT). The ZSSC416x/ZSSC417x andthe calibration equipment communicate digitally,so the noise sensitivity is greatly reduced. Digitalcalibration helps keep assembly cost low as no trimming by external devices or lasers is needed.

The ZSSC416x/ZSSC417x is optimized for automotiveenvironments by overvoltage and reversepolarity protection circuitry, excellent electromagneticcompatibility, and multiple diagnostic features.

ZSSC416xKIT系列評估板

The ZSSC416xKIT Evaluation Kit provides the hardware needed for configuration, calibration and evaluation of the ZSSC4161, ZSSC4162 and ZSSC4165 Sensor Signal Conditioner (SSC) ICs. The user’s PC can communicate with the ZSSC416x IC mounted on the ZSSC415x/6x/7x SSC Evaluation Board via the SSC Communication Board through a USB connection. The Evaluation Kit Software is available on-line for free download.

The Evaluation Board can connect to the user’s sensor or to the SSC Sensor Replacement Board (SRB). The SRB provides a replacement for an actual sensor and can be used for the first step of calibration or a dry-run calibration. On the SRB, the simulated resistive sensor signal is controlled by a potentiometer. The kit also includes three small populated test PCBs: each includes a?ZSSC4161, ZSSC4162, or ZSSC4165 QFN sample and the required external components already mounted for facilitating user prototypes.

The SSC Communication?Board is included in IDT’s modular SSC Evaluation Kits for select sensor signal conditioner (SSC) ICs. It is also part of the modular SSC Mass Calibration System for SSC ICs. It provides communication between the user’s computer and the SSC IC mounted on the SSC Evaluation Board, the user’s module, or a mass calibration reference board connected to the mass calibration board. It can be ordered separately.

The SSC Modular Evaluation Kit provides hardware and software for a very simple and intuitive method of evaluating IDT’s sensor signal conditioner (SSC) ICs. For the evaluation of different SSC ICs, only the IC-specific SSC Evaluation Board and software are needed; the other parts of the evaluation hardware (SSC Communication Board and SSC Sensor Replacement Board) are typically the same.

The SSC Communication Board V4.1* (SSC CB) can provide the power supply for the evaluation hardware and handle the communication with a PC via a USB interface. To prevent malfunctioning or damage, a galvanic isolation to the PC’s USB port is established on board via digital isolators for the information lines and an isolated DC/DC converter for the power line. It is also possible to supply the Communication Board and connected kit boards or user modules by an external power line (12V typical) via the KL1 screw terminal on the SSC CB. It is also possible to supply low voltage devices with a fixed 1.8 or 3.3 VDC internal voltage. Alternatively the connected application could be supplied via the KL2 screw terminal with a voltage of 1.0 to 3.6 VDC.

A USB-UART device transfers all signals to the stan-dardized USB port of the user’s PC. Its UART interface is connected via digital isolators with the UART of an on-board microcontroller that controls all functions of the Evaluation Kit and of the SSC IC to be evaluated. Its software allows direct communi-cation with the SSC IC via several interface options depending on the IC: I2C??, SPI, ZACwire? (One-Wire Interface (OWI)), LIN via a discrete level shifter, or SENT. The microcontroller also controls the power lines (5VDC and two lines for 12VDC) by driv-ing several electronic switches. The microcontroller displays the status of communication via LEDs.

An on-board dual header strip enables access to all signal and power lines. This allows a simple signal check; e.g., by a digital oscilloscope, a multimeter, or a connection with user-specific hardware.
