Sunnyvale, Calif. — Advanced Linear Devices, Inc. announced an ultra-sensitive, high-performance electrically programmable analog device (EPAD) analog voltage comparator. Designated the ALD2321, the ...

Back in 2012, I wrote about signal conditioning for MEMS and sensors. Amplifiers and architectures have not changed very much since, but there are a few newer devices and design architectural ...

A look at the design of traditional ADC front ends. How to simplify the input drive of CTSD ADCs. Simplifying reference and reference-drive designs. In this article, we will use the terms “sensor” or ...

Originating from research on energy harvesting and wireless power transfer, we are developing Sensor-Driven Electronics to eliminate batteries and energy harvesters in microsensors. To date, this has ...

Infineon is expanding its sensor business with the acquisition of the non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor portfolio from ams OSRAM. The two companies have entered into an agreement for a purchase ...

The art of analog design appears to be migrating from the circuit board to the IC. A case in point is a new line of analog front-end (AFE) chips and associated online design software that make the ...

In What’s the Difference Between Vibration Sensors, we focused on the advantages and drawbacks of various types of vibration sensors on the market. In signal conditioning and tips, we address the ...

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
