Low-Cost Sensor Signal Conditioner with I

C & SPI
Brief Description
The RBic
iLiteTM
is a CMOS integrated circuit for highly
accurate amplification and analog-to-digital conver-
sion of differential and half-bridge input signals. The
RBic
iLiteTM
can compensate the measured signal for
offset, 1
st
and 2
nd
order span, and 1
st
and 2
nd
order
temperature (Tco and Tcg). It is well-suited for sen-
sor-specific correction of bridge sensors. Digital
compensation of signal offset, sensitivity, tempera-
ture drift, and non-linearity is accomplished via an
internal digital signal processor running a correction
algorithm with calibration coefficients stored in a
non-volatile EEPROM.
The RBic
iLiteTM
is adjustable to nearly all piezo-resis-
tive bridge sensors. Measured and corrected bridge
values are provided at digital output pins, which can
be configured as I
2
C or SPI. The digital I
2
C interface
can be used for a simple PC-controlled calibration
procedure to program calibration coefficients into an
on-chip EEPROM. The calibrated RBic
iLiteTM
and a
specific sensor are mated digitally: fast, precise, and
without the cost overhead associated with trimming
by external devices or laser trimming.
Integrated diagnostics functions make the RBic
iLiteTM
particularly well-suited for safety-critical applications.
Benefits
•
•
•
•
•
Simple PC-controlled configuration and single-
pass digital calibration via I2C interface – quick,
precise, and low cost; SPI option for measure-
ment modeneed for external trimming
Eliminates
components
On-chip diagnostic features add safety to the
application (e.g., EEPROM signature, bridge
connection checks, bridge short detection).
Low-power Sleep Mode lengthens battery life
Enables multiple sensor networks
