Description
The MLX90308CAB 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 reprogrammable. Programming is accomplished by using a PC, with an interface circuit (level shifting and glue logic), and provided software.

Features and Benefits
    Microprocessor-controlled signal conditioning for bridge-type sensors
    Suited for low-cost sensors: reduction of non-linearity by programmable coefficients
    External or internal temperature sensor for compensating temperature errors
    Versatile output signal ranges: 4, 5, 10, or 11VDC; 4 to 20 mA loop
    Mass calibration easy with 2400 or 9600 baud UART
    Power supply from 6 to 35VDC

Applications
    Pressure transducers
    Accelerometers
    Temperature sensor assemblies
    Linear position sensors
