Benefits
The ZMD31012 combines the benefits of two single ZMD31010.
• No external trimming components required
• PC-controlled configuration and calibration via one-wire interface
– simple, low cost
• High accuracy (±0.1% FSO @ -25°C to 85°C;
±0.25% FSO @ -40°C to 125°C)
• Single pass calibration – quick and precise
Due to the two independent channels the ZMD31012 provides
a perfect fit for the following selected samples:
• Applications that require redundancy
• Measurement of differential pressure
• Flow Sensors
Brief Description
The ZMD31012 consists of two ZMD31010 dies in a standard
SSOP14 packages. ZMD31012 is a CMOS integrated circuit, which
enables easy and precise calibration of resistive bridge sensors via
EEPROM. When mated to a resistive bridge sensor, it will digitally
correct offset and gain with the option to correct offset and gain
coefficients and linearity over temperature. A second compensa-
tion can be enabled for temperature coefficients of gain or offset
or bridge linearity. ZMD31012 communicates via ZMD’s ZACwire
TM
serial interface to the host computer and is easily mass calibrated in
a Windows
®
environment.
Once calibrated, the output SIG
TM
pin can provide selectable 0V to
1V, rail-to-rail ratiometric analog output, or digital serial output of
bridge data with optional temperature data.
• ZMD31010 Development Kit can be used
• Support for industrial mass calibration will be available
• Quick circuit customization possible for large production volumes
