Integrated Device Technology
Brief Description
The ZSSC3123 is a CMOS integrated circuit for accurate capacitance-to-digital conversion and sensor-specific correction of capacitive sensor signals. Digital compensation of sensor offset, sensitivity, and temperature drift is accomplished via an internal digital signal processor running a correction algorithm with calibration coefficients stored in a non-volatile EEPROM.
FEATUREs
• Maximum target input capacitance: 260pF
• Sampling rates as fast as 0.7ms at 8-bit resolution;
1.6ms at 10-bit; 5.0ms at 12-bit; 18.5ms at 14-bit
• Digital compensation of sensor: piece-wise 1st and 2nd
order sensor compensation or up to 3rd order
single-region sensor compensation
• Digital compensation of 1st and 2nd order temperature
gain and offset drift
• Internal temperature compensation reference
(no external components)
