ZSC31xxx / ZSSC3xxxx
Sensor Signal Conditioner – Evaluation Kits
Brief Description
Features
The modular Sensor Signal Conditioner (SSC)
evaluation kits are designed to get an overview
about the functions ant the configuration options of
the ZMDI’s SSC IC family. The kits provide support
for newcomers and experienced users in
evaluating ZMDI’s SSC ICs. For the evaluation of
different SSC only the IC specific SSC evaluation
board and software has to be swapped.
The SSC evaluation board allows a simple-toinstall-evaluation of ZMDI’s SSC matching with this
board. All ICs are connected via a common ZIFsocket for simple IC interchange.
On board LED’s display the status of power supply
and (depending on SSC) the status of digital
outputs (e.g. ALARM 1/2 at ZSC31050). Several
strips allow the access to all signal I/O-lines of the
SSC for a simple system check.
Screw terminals can be used to connect real
sensor elements. First tests and evaluation of SSC
can be done with a sensor replacement board.
Benefits
 Power supply via USB or external power supply
 “plug & play” – capability
 SSC Communication Board is used in every kit
for interfacing communication between SSC
and PC
 All kits include also USB cable, 5 IC samples,
SSC Test Board and DVD containing software
& documents and start-up info.
 Self-explaining graphical user interfaces allow
controlling the following functions:
- IC configuration including adjustment of gainfactor,
zero-point-shift,
temperature
compensation reference, signal resolution,
sample rate, output options, measurement
regime, clamp limits, etc.
- Reading and programming of EEPROM and
CMC (Calibration Micro Controller) registers
- Display of the unconditioned and of the
conditioned bridge sensor and temperature
sensor signals
- By using the SSC Test Board an SSC
application circuit can be assembled and
evaluated very easy
- Experimental
semi-automatic
calibration
covering
measurements,
calibration
coefficients
calculation
and
EEPROM
programming
 Simple interchange of SSC IC (ZIF socket)
 Screw terminal for external bridge sensor
element or sensor replacement board
 All interfaces (I²C, LIN, One Wire Interface,
SPI, ZACwire etc.) and additional functionality
for SSC in Communication Board implemented
Available Support
 Evaluation Kits
