ZSSC3240CI5B

Overview

The ZSSC3240CI5B is a sensor signal conditioning IC from Renesas Electronics, designed for resistive bridge sensors. It features a programmable measurement sequencer that multiplexes between bridge, temperature, and diagnostic measurements. The device provides offset compensation and amplification with a gain factor of up to 540V/V. It digitizes signals up to 24-bit resolution and uses an internal DSP for linearization and temperature compensation. Output interfaces include SPI, I2C, and 1-Wire. The operating voltage range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V, with a working temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
