General description
The MLX90320 covers the most typical resistive type of Wheatstone bridge applications for use in an automotive environment. It is a monolithic silicon analog sensor interface that converts small changes in resistors, configured in a full Wheatstone bridge on a sensing element, to large output voltage variations.
FEATUREs and Benefits
❐ Suited cost optimized sensors: gain and offset correction by programmable coefficients
❐ Higher order temperature compensation provided for both gain and offset
❐ External or internal temperature sensor for compensation of temperature errors
❐ Over-voltage protection
❐ Fault detection and clamping levels
❐ Ratio-metric output: 0 to 5V
❐ Single Pin Digital Programming
❐ Fully analog signal path
❐ RoHS compliant
APPLICATIONs Examples
❐ Pressure transducers, strain gauges, accelerometers, position sensors, etc.
❐ Steering systems (e.g. torque sensors)
❐ Safety restraints systems (e.g. seat occupant detection)
❐ Braking systems (e.g. ABS, force)
❐ Comfort systems (e.g. air conditioning)
❐ Engine management (e.g. injection)
❐ Any bridge type sensor
