ZSSC3123
ZSSC3123 is Capacitive Sensor Signal Conditioner manufactured by Renesas.
ZSSC3123 c Lite TM Capacitive Sensor Signal Conditioner
Description
The ZSSC3123 is a CMOS integrated circuit for accurate capacitance-to-digital conversion and sensor-specific correction of capacitive sensor signals. Digital pensation of sensor offset, sensitivity, and temperature drift is acplished via an internal digital signal processor running a correction algorithm with calibration coefficients stored in a non-volatile EEPROM.
The ZSSC3123 is configurable for capacitive sensors with capacitances up to 260p F and a sensitivity of 125a F/LSB to 1p F/LSB depending on resolution, speed, and range settings. It is patible with both single capacitive sensors (both terminals must be accessible) and differential capacitive sensors. Measured and corrected sensor values can be output as I2C, SPI, pulse density modulation (PDM), or alarms.
The I2C interface can be used for a simple PC-controlled calibration procedure to program a set of calibration coefficients into an on-chip EEPROM. The calibrated ZSSC3123 and a specific sensor are mated digitally: fast, precise, and without the cost overhead of trimming by external devices or laser.
