Multi-channel micro-volt absolute accuracy readout ASIC for thermocouples and oxygen sensors

Multi-channel micro-volt absolute accuracy readout ASIC for thermocouples and oxygen sensors

The ASIC is a fully integrated, high performance (16 bit) sensor Analog Front End (AFE) for high absolute accuracy measurements targeted for remote sensor applications in harsh environments. It is ideally suited for thermocouple and electrochemical gas sensor measurements. An accurate internal temperature sensor is present to enable temperature dependent digital post processing of offset and gain errors.
