ZSSC4175DE4C

Overview

The ZSSC4175DE4C is a discontinued sensor signal conditioning integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It belongs to the ZSSC417x family, designed for amplification, digitization, and sensor-specific correction of sensor signals in IoT applications. The component was officially declared End-of-Life (EOL) effective January 31, 2023. It functions as a DC-DC switching regulator IC within the broader power management and interface portfolio.

Feature Summary

• Provides highly accurate amplification and digitization of sensor signals
• Performs sensor-specific correction for improved measurement accuracy
• Supports faster design cycles through standardized system integration

Applications

• Sensor-connected IoT applications
• System prototyping with MCU/MPU development boards
• Signal conditioning for humidity and temperature sensors

Procurement Notes

This part number is obsolete and no longer in production. Verification of availability should focus on the manufacturer-recommended replacement, ZSSC4175DE4R. Sourcing from secondary distributors may involve risks regarding authenticity or storage conditions due to the EOL status. Confirm current stock levels and lead times with authorized suppliers before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Designers requiring this functionality must transition to the ZSSC4175DE4R variant. The selection process involves verifying pin compatibility and software configuration portability between the legacy DE4C package and the recommended DE4R replacement. Ensure that the new component meets the specific voltage and interface requirements of the target application without hardware redesign.

Part Context

The ZSSC4175DE4C is part of the ZSSC416x/ZSSC417x series introduced to simplify sensor integration. It complements Renesas' MCU portfolios by handling analog front-end tasks. The product line supports the Quick-Connect IoT system, allowing designers to reduce coding efforts by using graphical sensor selection tools rather than writing extensive driver code.

Replacement Considerations

The manufacturer recommends the ZSSC4175DE4R as the direct substitute. This replacement maintains the core signal conditioning capabilities while updating the packaging or manufacturing lot. Engineers should validate electrical parameters and thermal performance when migrating from the DE4C to the DE4R.
