Helsinki, Finland – 15 November 2013
Micro Analog Systems Oy today announced MAS6510, a 24-bit Capacitive Sensor Signal Interface IC primarily intended for MEMS based pressure sensor modules.
The device uses a ratiometric capacitance to digital (CDC) principle employing a delta-sigma (DS) conversion technique, giving very good noise performance. Its current consumption is extremely low (47.9 ?A, one pressure conversion in a second with 17.5-bit resolution) and it can operate at low supply voltage from 1.8 V to 3.6 V which makes it an ideal solution for interfacing a capacitive sensor in power consumption critical portable applications. The effective number of bits (ENOB) of the CDC is 17.5-bits. The over sampling ratio (OSR) of the DS-converter has five values to choose from for further optimization between conversion accuracy, speed and current consumption. Two capacitance measurement modes are supported and the output can be proportional either to capacitance difference (CS-CR) or to capacitance ratio (CS-CR)/CS. The on chip temperature sensor serves temperature measurement and temperature compensation purposes. The MAS6510 also features supply voltage monitoring mode which is especially useful in battery operated systems. For communication standard 2-wire I2C bus and SPI serial interfaces are available.
