ZMDI has announced a sensor signal conditioning family capable of measuring single, dual or differential bridge inputs and internal or external temperature sensors. With a wide analog pre-amplification range, the ZSSC416x family is capable of highly accurate amplification and sensor-specific correction for most resistive bridge sensors as well as thermocouple readings. Measured values are provided via the digital SENT 3.0 output or I2C.

With built-in overvoltage and reverse polarity protection, excellent electromagnetic compatibility and built-in diagnostics features, the ZSSC416x family is optimised for safety critical applications and harsh environments.

In addition to the highest proven performance needed for future products, ZMDI’s Next Generation Sensor Signal Conditioner Family ICs offer customers ease of use with a wide range of predefined signal processing configurations and flexible input pin selection for quick integration in a wide variety of applications.

Steve Ramdin, Global Product Line Manager, Multi Market Sensor Platforms, ZMDI, commented: “The ZSSC416x is the first series of products from ZMDI’s Next Generation Sensor Signal Conditioner Family designed for ease of integration into our customers’ sensor platforms without sacrificing the performance and flexibility needed for the lowest possible system costs. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to build flexible sensor platforms, quickly and at the lowest possible system costs.”

The ZSSC416x family will be available for mass production in December 2014; interested customers can receive samples and pricing today by contacting ZMDI or their distribution partners directly.
