This is accomplished by eliminating optoco...

Analog Devices, Inc. today introduced 12-bit and 10-bit mixed-signal front-ends (MxFEs) that reduce power and board space for developers of wireless infrastructure and portable radio equipment. The 12-bit AD9963 and 10-bit AD9961 MxFEs use 40 percent less power and 25 percent less printed-circuit board area than competing devices without sacrificing performance. These MxFEs are especially effective for cost-sensitive wireless equipment, such as f...

The ADT7320 (SPI I/F) and the ADT7420 (I2C I/F) are high accuracy digital temperature sensors that offer 0.25C accuracy from -20C to 105C. No calibration is required for these 16 bit resolution temperature sensors Distributed by Tubemogul.

ADI announced a dual, 16-bit 105 MSPS (mega samples per second), low-power, low-noise, ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) designed for high-performance data acquisition systems in medical imaging, industrial, spectrum analysis, multimode radio and radar applications. The AD9650 ADC consumes 328-mW per channel, which is half the power per channel of competing data converters while achieving an industry best SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) figure of 8...

ADI announced today a pair of low-power, high-speed 14-bit ADCs that incorporate the JESD204A data converter serial interface standard. The JESD204A standard was developed to allow designers of high-speed communications and data acquisition systems to extend transmission lengths while improving signal integrity and simplifying printed-circuit board layout. The AD9644 dual and AD9641 14-bit 80MSPS (mega samples per second) ADCs use half the power ...

Advances in factory automation, process controls, and industrial instrumentation are contributing to higher manufacturing productivity and increased output. The sustainability of such advances is under threat, however, as the density of factory process control systems reaches levels where rising power consumption and thermal issues are beginning to undermine equipment performance, reliability, and safety. Analog Devices today introduced a multich...

The AD5421 is a loop powered 16-bit 4mA to 20mA digital to analog converter (DAC) and features integrated precision converters and smart power management circuitry. The AD5421 is the industry's lowest power 4mA to 20mA DAC.

Buried two kilometers under solid ice on one of the coldest continents on Earth, Analog Devices’ (NYSE: ADI) data converters and amplifiers are helping scientists at the South Pole build the world’s largest telescope to search for the smallest subatomic particles known to humankind.

Industrial system designs involving platform stability, navigation, or precision measurements and diagnostics rely on multiple sensor inputs. In extreme environments where shock, vibration, and wide temperature ranges are present, a reliance on multiple sensor types or redundant sensors to compensate for environmental instabilities is common. System design engineers are under growing pressure to reduce this added system complexity and cost within...

Analog Devices introduced two fully calibrated, 16-bit-resolution, high-linearity digital temperature sensors that achieve the industry’s highest level of precision over a wide operating temperature range.

Analog Devices introduced today the industry’s first 5-GHz differential amplifier able to drive ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) signals from DC to 1 GHz at half the power of competing products.
