ZSSC3240BI3R-ES

Overview

The ZSSC3240BI3R-ES is a sensor signal conditioner IC designed for resistive sensors, manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It belongs to the ZSSC3240 series and utilizes a PQFN-24 package with SMD/SMT mounting style. The component functions as an interface IC within the broader category of interface integrated circuits. Official documentation indicates that this specific part number has reached the end-of-life stage, meaning it will be discontinued and production halted by the manufacturer.

Feature Summary

• Sensor signal conditioning for resistive elements
• End-of-life product status

Applications

• Resistive sensor signal processing

Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as End-of-Life (EOL). Manufacturers have announced discontinuation, indicating that future production will cease. Procurement should focus on verifying remaining stock availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Designers are advised to initiate replacement strategies immediately due to the lack of long-term supply assurance.

Selection Notes

Engineers evaluating this part must account for its discontinued status when planning long-term production runs. While the ZSSC3241 offers backward compatibility and enhanced features, direct substitution requires verification of pinout and EEPROM configuration. Selection should prioritize components with active manufacturing support to ensure supply chain stability for new designs.

Part Context

The ZSSC3240BI3R-ES is part of the ZSSC3240 family from Renesas Electronics. This series focuses on sensor signal conditioning for resistive sensors. The 'BI3R' suffix typically denotes specific packaging and tape/reel configurations within the PQFN-24 form factor. It sits alongside other variants like the ZSSC3241, which serves as a successor with additional capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

The ZSSC3241 is documented as being 99% backward compatible to the ZSSC3240 with the same die size and QFN24-pin-out.
