Description
The MLX90308CCC is a dedicated microcontroller which performs signal conditioning for sensors wired in
bridge or differential configurations. Sensors that can be used include thermistors, strain gauges, load cells,
pressure sensors, accelerometers, etc. The signal conditioning includes gain adjustment, offset control, high
order temperature and linearity compensation. Compensation values are stored in EEPROM and are re-
programmable. Programming is accomplished by using a PC, with an interface circuit (level shifting and glue
logic), and provided software.
The application circuits can provide an
output of an absolute voltage, relative
voltage, or current. The output can be
range limited with defined outputs when
the signal is beyond the programmed
limits. Other features include alarm
outputs and level steering. The robust
electrical
design
allows
the
MLX90308CCC to be used where most
signal conditioning and sensor interface
circuits cannot be used. Voltage
regulation control is provided for absolute
voltage and current modes (external FET
required).
The standard package is a plastic
SO16W. The device is static-sensitive and
requires ESD precautions.
