Sensor Signal Conditioner for Cost-
Optimized Switch Applications
ZSSC3131
Datasheet
Brief Description
The ZSSC3131 is a member of the ZSSC313x
product family of CMOS integrated circuits designed
for automotive/ industrial sensor applications. All
family members are well suited for highly-accurate
amplification and sensor-specific correction of
resistive bridge sensor signals. An internal 16-bit
RISC microcontroller running a correction algorithm
compensates sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature
drift, and non-linearity of the connected sensor
element. The required calibration coefficients are
stored by the one-pass calibration procedure in an
on-chip EEPROM.
The ZSSC3131 is optimized for simple switch and
cost-sensitive sensor applications. The integrated
adjustable digital filter enables building fast-switch-
ing real-time applications as well as stabilized
applications for switching input signals that are
unstable or disrupted.

Electrical Characteristics
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Note:
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. The device might not function or be operable above
the operating conditions given in section 1.2. Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings might also
damage the device. In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions
might affect device reliability. IDT does not recommend designing to the “Absolute Maximum Ratings.”
Parameters apply in operation temperature range and without time limitations.

Maximum operation temperature range depends on product version (refer to section 8).
See the temperature profile description in the
ZSSC313x Technical Note—Die & Package Dimensions.
No measurement in mass production; parameter is guaranteed by design and/or quality observation.
Symmetric behavior and identical electrical properties (especially the low pass characteristic) of both sensor inputs of the ZSSC3131 are required.
Unsymmetrical conditions of the sensor and/or external components connected to the sensor input pins of the ZSSC3131 can generate a failure in
signal operation.
