Product News: New low power, high-precision 16-bit sensor signal conditioner ZSSC3016

ZMD AG, a global supplier of analog and mixed-signal solutions for consumer, industrial, and medical applications, introduces a class-leading 16-bit sensor signal conditioning IC (SSC) for calibrated resistive sensor modules. The ZSSC3016 combines high accuracy amplification, 16-bit precision analog-to-digital conversion, and an 18-bit DSP for linearization and calibration functions. The high resolution sensor interface ASSP provides special features for battery driven low power devices, such as an overall current consumption of less than 1mA combined with an ultra low standby current of less than 250nA, operation voltages between 1.8 and 3.6V and an intelligent power save scheme to ensure lowest overall current consumption. Designed for high resolution altimeter module applications, the ZSSC3016 is ideal for use in mobile phones, sport watches or outdoor GPS tracking systems. 

Choosing the right sensor signal conditioning IC

Designing and implementing sensor interface designs for nonlinear, temperature- dependent transducers presents some difficult challenges. The advent of dedicated and powerful Sensor Signal Conditioning (SSC) ICs has made the job easier, but choosing the right IC for a particular sensor and application is critical for making optimal performance and cost tradeoffs. In this article we will examine some of the most important features and functions to consider when choosing the best SSC for your application.
