Targeting air-conditioning, level measurement, and seat adjustment applications, the ZSSC3170 sensor signal conditioner IC with integrated LIN transceiver is designed for direct 12-V supply provided by the vehicle power system. The device operates on supply voltages from 7 to 18 V and over a temperature range of –40° to 125°C, or extended up to 150°C.
The integrated LIN transceiver meets the LIN specifications 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1. The ZSSC3170 incorporates special protection circuitry, has numerous diagnostic features, and can be calibrated in-system where coefficients are stored in on-chip automotive-grade EEPROM. It also offers EMC immunity of up to ±8 kV of the LIN interface. Accuracy is ±0.25% FSO over a temperature range of -20° to 85°C, ±0.50% FSO at –40° to 125°C, and ±1.00% FSO at –40° to 150°C. The IC comes as die or in a SSOP20 package. ($3.04 ea/low qty — available now.)
