Whenever a new sensor signal conditioning circuit is announced, it’s smart to determine if it can simplify your existing sensor’s design, or get more performance for the next generation and/or save money. We’ll it’s time to check out a new circuit – especially if you have only been using/considering an IC with 12- to 14- bit A-D accuracy. ZMD’s ZSSC3017 CMOS IC has 16-bit A-D accuracy as well as an 18-bit DSP for linearization and calibration functions. Intended for resistive sensor bridges, the high-accuracy amplification can improve the performance of altimeters/barometers, medical gas and infusion pumps, robotics and other end products.
