The PGA308 is a programmable analog sensor signal conditioner. The analog signal path
amplifies the sensor signal and provides digital calibration for offset and gain. Calibration is
done via the 1W pin, a digital One-Wire, UART-compatible interface. For three-terminal sensor
modules, 1W may be connected to VOUT and the assembly programmed through the
VOUT pin. Gain and offset calibration parameters are stored onboard in seven
banks of one-time programmable (OTP) memory. The power-on reset (POR) OTP bank may be programmed a
total of four times.
The all-analog signal path contains a 2×2 input multiplexer (mux) to allow electronic
sensor lead swapping, a coarse offset adjust, an auto-zero programmable gain instrumentation
amplifier (PGA), a fine gain adjust, a fine offset adjust, and a programmable gain output
amplifier. Fault monitor circuitry detects and signals sensor burnout, overload, and system fault
conditions. Over/under-scale limits provide additional means for system level diagnostics. The
dual-use DOUT/VCLAMP pin can be used as a programmable digital output or as a VOUT over-voltage clamp.
