The module presented here is a sensor signal conditioner based on ZSC31010 CMOS integrated circuit, which enables easy and precise calibration of resistive bridge sensors via EEPROM programming. When mated to a resistive bridge sensor, it will digitally calibrate offset and gain with the option to calibrate offset and gain coefficients and linearity over temperature. A second-order compensation can be enabled for temperature coefficients of gain or offset or bridge linearity. ZSC31010 module communicates via IDT’s ZACwire serial interface to the host computer and it is easily mass-calibrated in a Windows environment. Once calibrated, the output signal pin can provide selectable 0 to 1 V absolute analog output; rail-to-rail ratiometric analog output; or digital serial output of bridge data with optional temperature data. U1 LM317 provides the 5V DC to the sensor chip. D1 is the power LED.

Note: This sensor module requires a simple PC-controlled configuration and calibration via ZACwire™ One-Wire Interface.
