ZSSC3136
Sensor Signal Conditioner for
Safety Switch Applications
Datasheet
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC3136 is a member of the ZSSC313x
family of CMOS integrated circuits 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.

Capability for setting up SIL level 2 applications
Application-focused feature set
No external trimming components required
Only a few external protection devices needed
PC-controlled configuration and one-pass/
end-of-line calibration via I²C™* or ZACwireTM
interface: simple, cost-efficient, quick, and pre-
cise

•
High accuracy (0.25% FSO** @ -25 to +85°C;
0.5% FSO @ -40 to +125°C)
Optimized for automotive/ industrial environment
due to robust protection circuitries, excellent
electromagnetic compatibility and AEC-Q100
qualification
The ZSSC3136 is optimized for SIL (Safety Integrity
Level) rated switch applications. The integrated
adjustable digital filter offers the possibility of setting
up fast switching real-time applications as well as
stabilized switching applications in the case of
disturbed or unstable input signals.
