Analog Devices to Introduce Precision Control, Measurement, and Monitoring Solutions for Industrial, Healthcare, and Automotive Applications at electronica 2010

The company will feature a series of demonstrations at its stand (Hall 4, Stand 159) that showcase ADI’s latest innovations in data conversion, high-performance linear, motion sensing, RF (radio frequency), and DSP (digital signal processing) technologies as they are being applied to a wide range of applications.



The demonstrations and new product announcements will include the following:



Industrial Demos Showcase New Technologies



ADI engineers will demonstrate new developments for the following industrial and instrumentation applications:



· Energy Metering: an energy measurement and wireless communications system remotely monitoring power consumption and communicating information over a wireless link using ADI’s new integrated ISM band transceiver with ARM® Cortex™ processor core (to be announced at the show)



· Instrumentation: a low-power, high-precision water quality monitoring system using a wireless communication network and featuring ADI’s new integrated ISM band transceiver with ARM Cortex processor core (to be announced at the show).



· Motor Control: a complete ADI motor-control signal chain development platform



· Process Control: a high-performance, loop-powered 4-mA to 20-mA transmitter and PLC (programmable logic controller) board for process control applications



· Security: a multimedia access-control entry system with both voice and video links between outdoor and indoor units



· Robotics: MEMS-based telepresence robots for industrial inspection and surveillance



Healthcare Demos Advance Patient Monitoring and In-home Diagnostics



ADI technology specialists will present new technologies for the following healthcare applications:



· Medical Imaging: a 64-channel ultrasound scanner leveraging ADI’s data conversion, amplifier and signal processing technology and system-level design expertise



· Patient Monitoring: a bedside patient monitor incorporating ADI’s Blackfin® processor and analogue precision signal processing components



· Medical Instrumentation: a point-of-care testing platform designed for OEMs developing blood analysis platforms



· Home Health and Wellness: handheld consumer medical devices for gauging the severity of asthma attacks



Automotive Demos Emphasise Passive and Active Safety Systems



ADI engineers will demonstrate the following developments for automotive applications:



· Driver Assistance: a vision-based lane departure warning system based on the ADI Blackfin processor.



· Passive Safety Systems: a MEMS-based airbag deployment system
