DESCRIPTION
The PGA309 is a programmable analog signal conditioner designed for bridge sensors. The analog signal path
amplifies the sensor signal and provides digital calibration for zero, span, zero drift, span drift, and sensor
linearization errors with applied stress (pressure, strain, etc.). The calibration is done via a One-Wire digital serial
interface or through a Two-Wire industry-standard connection. The calibration parameters are stored in external
nonvolatile memory (typically SOT23-5) to eliminate manual trimming and achieve long-term stability.
The all-analog signal path contains a 2x2 input multiplexer (mux), auto-zero programmable-gain instrumentation
amplifier, linearization circuit, voltage reference, internal oscillator, control logic, and an output amplifier.
Programmable level shifting compensates for sensor dc offsets.
The core of the PGA309 is the precision, low-drift, no 1/f noise Front-End PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier).
The overall gain of the Front-End PGA + Output Amplifier can be adjusted from 2.7V/V to 1152V/V. The polarity
of the inputs can be switched through the input mux to accommodate sensors with unknown polarity output. The
Fault Monitor circuit detects and signals sensor burnout, overload, and system fault conditions.

PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.
Products conform to specifications per the terms of the Texas
Instruments standard warranty. Production processing does not
necessarily include testing of all parameters.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

(1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may
degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond
those specified is not implied.

(2) The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
(3) The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDEC-
standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
(4) The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
(5) The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
