DESCRIPTION
ZMD31050 is a CMOS integrated circuit for highly-accurate amplification and sensor-specific correction of bridge sensor and temperature sensor signals. The device provides digital compensation of sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature drift and nonlinearity by a 16-bit RISC micro controller running a correction algorithm.
ZMD31050 accommodates virtually any bridge sensor type (e.g. piezo-resistive, ceramic-thickfilm or steel membrane based). In addition, the IC can interface to a separate temperature sensor. The bi-directional digital interfaces (I2C, SPI, ZACwire™) can be used for a simple PC-controlled one-shot calibration procedure, in order to program a set of calibration coefficients into an onchip EEPROM. Thus a specific sensor and a ZMD31050 are mated digitally: fast, precise and without the cost overhead associated with trimming by external devices or laser.
ZMD31050 has been designed for industrial, medical and consumer applications and is specifically suited for most pressure sensors. It can also be used with force, torque, acceleration, angle, position and revolution sensors.
