Melexis MLX90308 Programmable Sensor Interface Handbook

The MLX90308 is a dedicated microcontroller that 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 re-programmable. Programming is accomplished by using a PC, with an interface circuit (level shifting and glue logic), and provided software. The application circuits can provide an output of an absolute voltage, relative voltage, or current. The output can be range limited with de-
