DESCRIPTION
The TPIC83000 is a single-channel, signal conditioning device for pressure sensors used in low-pressure
sensing applications such as passenger occupancy indication/detection and pedal pressure sensing. The
pressure sensor can be based on either a strain gauge or piezo-resistive elements configured as a full
Wheatstone bridge. This device provides an analog signal conditioning interface between the pressure sensor
and a microcontroller. The analog front end (AFE) inside the device processes the sensed signals from the
pressure sensor by amplifying the signal and cancelling offset. This processed signal is then converted into a
14-bit, digital word using a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device also has a built-in 12-bit
ADC that is used to sense ambient temperature to compensate for the temperature coefficient of the sensor and
related processing circuitry. The compensated digital data is transferred to the microprocessor via a built-in
UART interface.
