The SSC Evaluation Kit provides the hardware needed for communication and calibration of the ZSSC3170 sensor signal conditioning (SSC) IC. A PC can communicate with the ZSSC3170 SSC Evaluation Board via the SSC Communication Board (CB) through a USB connection. The software should function on any Windows®... -
Page 5: Zssc3170 Evaluation Board
The main purpose of the SSC Evaluation Kit is to perform communication between the user’s PC and the ZSSC3170 (referred to as the DUT). The PC sends commands and data via the USB port on the CB (virtual COM †... -
Page 6: Schematic
There is a reverse polarity protection diode connected to a series resistor and then directly to the power supply of the ZSSC3170 (VB as shown in Figure 2.1). If the PWM interface is used, a 5V supply is required. Both power supplies are controlled by the microcontroller of the SSC CB. -

Page 8: Connections To The Zssc3170
Connections to the ZSSC3170 The SSC EB has an SSOP-20 socket for inserting the SSOP-20 ZSSC3170 under test. NOTE: Only one ZSSC3170 connection option can be used at a time (e.g., either through the SSC CB or via individual connections). -
Page 9: Pinout And Package
ZSSC3170 Evaluation Kit Description Pinout and Package Note: The ZSSC3170 is only available for purchase as die. The SSOP20 package is only available for evaluation purposes as samples in the Evaluation Kit. An SSOP20 Green Package (5.3mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch) is the standard delivery form for samples. -

After the ZSSC3170 Software is started, the main window is displayed (see Figure 4.1). The main window includes all the settings for configuration of the ZSSC3170 in a clear structure that hides the corresponding HEX commands behind buttons and pull-down menus. For a detailed description of the commands, refer to the ZSSC3170 Functional Description. -

(Figure 4.6). The ZSSC3170 can use two different temperature channels: one for the temperature that is used for the ZSSC3170’s internal calibration calculation and one that is used as an optional additional output signal during Normal Operating Mode (NOM). If only one temperature sensor is used and a temperature readout during NOM is required, then “CalibrTS CT”... -
