ZSSC3240CI1B

Overview

The ZSSC3240CI1B is a sensor signal conditioner IC designed for resistive sensors, manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a programmable measurement sequencer that multiplexes between bridge, temperature, or diagnostic measurements. The device provides offset compensation and amplification with a gain factor of up to 540V/V to optimize the ADC input range. It digitizes signals up to 24-bit resolution and utilizes an internal DSP for linearization and temperature compensation. Output interfaces include 1-Wire, I2C, and SPI, alongside analog outputs such as absolute or ratiometric voltage and industrial current loops.
