Product details
Overview
ZSSC3036CI4W from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a low-power, high-resolution sensor signal conditioner IC designed for precision resistive bridge sensor interfacing in altimeter and pressure modules. It delivers 16-bit conditioned digital output via I²C or SPI, performs 1st/2nd-order temperature compensation, and achieves ±0.10% FSO accuracy from –40°C to +110°C using an 18-bit DSP core and on-chip MTP memory.
For engineers reviewing the ZSSC3036CI4W datasheet, ZSSC3036CI4W pinout, ZSSC3036CI4W application, or ZSSC3036CI4W equivalent, key selection considerations include its die-level delivery for chip-on-board bonding, 50nA sleep current, programmable 13.2–72 gain range, and support for calibrated barometric altitude measurement in portable navigation and automotive systems.
Technical Context
The ZSSC3036CI4W implements a two-stage programmable gain amplifier with auto-zero and chopper stabilization to suppress 1/f noise and offset drift. Its switched-capacitor ADC uses VDDB (1.67V typical) as reference and supports 10–16-bit resolution with conversion rates up to 1015 Hz for raw measurements and 245 Hz for fully compensated outputs.
Digital correction is executed by an 18-bit DSP core applying stored calibration coefficients for bridge offset, span, and 1st/2nd-order temperature-induced gain/offset drift. The MTP memory enables single-pass PC-controlled calibration without external trimming components, and the internal charge pump generates programming voltage from VDD (2.9–3.6V).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sensor signal conditioning applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEAS MS5837-02BA | Integrated pressure sensor + ASIC in stainless steel housing; fixed 24-bit output; no programmable gain or external bridge support. | Pre-calibrated submersible pressure module; not suitable for custom bridge interfacing or chip-on-board integration. | Select when needing a complete, IP68-rated pressure transducer - not a drop-in replacement for ZSSC3036CI4W's discrete bridge conditioning role. |
| TI PGA309AIPW | Analog output only; 16-bit DAC-based trimming; no integrated temperature sensor or digital compensation engine. | Requires external MCU for digital processing and temperature compensation; higher BOM count and layout complexity. | Choose if system already includes a capable host processor and analog signal chain is preferred - lacks ZSSC3036CI4W's self-contained digital correction. |

The ZSSC3036CI4W is qualified for –40°C to +110°C operation with extended qualification, as indicated by the "I" suffix in the part number. This rating is verified per IDT's reliability testing and supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments where thermal stability is critical for pressure and altitude sensing accuracy.
Does the ZSSC3036CI4W require external components for basic operation?
No, the ZSSC3036CI4W requires no external trimming, filtering, or buffering components for standard operation. Its integrated charge pump, voltage regulator, auto-zero amplifier, and MTP memory enable full functionality with only decoupling capacitors on VDD and VDDB - simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost for the ZSSC3036CI4W.
How is calibration performed for the ZSSC3036CI4W?
Calibration of the ZSSC3036CI4W is performed via its SPI or I²C interface using PC-based software that applies sensor characterization data to compute and program 18-bit compensation coefficients into on-chip MTP memory. The process is single-pass, requires no external hardware beyond the interface cable, and is fully supported by IDT's official calibration tools for the ZSSC3036CI4W.
What digital interfaces does the ZSSC3036CI4W support?
The ZSSC3036CI4W supports both SPI (up to 20MHz) and I²C (up to 3.4MHz) interfaces on shared pins (SCLK/SCL, MOSI/SDA, SS/SEL). Interface mode is selected either by hardware (pulling SEL high for I²C) or via configuration register - allowing flexible host MCU integration without changing board layout for the ZSSC3036CI4W.
Is the ZSSC3036CI4W supplied in a packaged IC format?
No, the ZSSC3036CI4W is delivered as a bare die (304 µm thick) on wafer or frame, intended for chip-on-board or die-bonding assembly with matching pressure or altimeter sensors.
