ZSSC3123 cLite Capacitive Sensor Signal Conditioner Datasheet Description Features The ZSSC3123 is a CMOS integrated circuit for accurate capaci- Maximum target input capacitance: 260pF tance-to-digital conversion and sensor-specific correction of Sampling rates as fast as 0.7ms at 8-bit resolution 1.6ms at capacitive sensor signals. Digital compensation of sensor offset, 10-bit 5.0ms at 12-bit 18.5ms at 14-bit sensitivity, and temperature drift is accomplished via an internal Digital compensation of sensor: piece-wise 1st and 2nd order digital signal processor running a correction algorithm with cali- sensor compensation or up to 3rd order single-region sensor bration coefficients stored in a non-volatile EEPROM. compensation The ZSSC3123 is configurable for capacitive sensors with capaci- Digital compensation of 1st and 2nd order temperature gain tances up to 260pF and a sensitivity of 125aF/LSB to 1pF/LSB and offset drift depending on resolution, speed, and range settings. It is com- Internal temperature compensation reference (no external patible with both single capacitive sensors (both terminals must be components) accessible) and differential capacitive sensors. Measured and Programmable capacitance span and offset corrected sensor values can be output as I2C, SPI, pulse density modulation (PDM), or alarms.
