Signal Conditioning IC is Fast and PC-Controllable

June 13th, 2005

ZMD America has just intoduced the ZMD 31010 sensor signal conditioner, a device that can be configured and calibrated using a Windows-based computer via a low-cost, simple one-wire interface. It is fully contained–no external trimming components are required.

The ZMD31010 uses a true-differential chopper-stabilized charged-balanced A/D converter and chopper-stabilized 11-bit monotonic DAC. The device has a selectable response time of up to 1KHz, programmable analog (10-90% V+, 0-1V) and digital output (serial ZACwire(TM)). Other features benefits include low quiescent current of under 250uA for battery applications, 14-bit digital output resolution on pressure, selectable bridge readings, and temperature output signal in digital mode.

Samples are available now in an SOP8 package at a piece price of $2.30 each. In quantities of 100,000 devices, devices are priced under $1.30 each.

Engineers can evaluate the ZMD 31010 by ordering an evaluation kit that includes a printed circuit board, device samples, and all the necessary software and documentation. The kit is available by visiting the ZMD website at http://www.zmd.biz.
