This unrivalled portfolio features leading ac and dc performance, power, speed and size, with products ranging from 8-bit to 32-bit resolution. The products have been designed with ease of use in mind enabling customers to meet their end design objective more quickly, at a component and signal chain level. Covering a range of architectures, SAR - Successive Approximation ADCs, Σ-Δ - Sigma Delta Modulators and Isolated ADCs. Products include 4-20mA input A/D converters, Isolated A/D Converters, Multiplexed A/D Converters, Precision Signal Chain μModule® Solutions, Simultaneous Sampling A/D Converters and Single Channel A/D Converters. A comprehensive suite of tools is available to simplify the design process from the initial selection to prototyping.


Industrial Ethernet


disruptive electromagnetic interference. They have a wide range of digital interface and digital isolators covering the industry’s fi eld bus and peripheral communications standards. Digital isolators, isolated transceivers, isolated A/D converters and isolated gate drivers use Analog Devices award winning iCoupler® and isoPower® technologies which provide isolation solutions without many of the constraints found in traditional optocouplers. Products are suitable for use in a wide range of applications including interface devices, keypad controllers, level translators, high voltage protection products (channel protection, fault protection, overvoltage protection), and latch-up proof switches and multiplexers.


Magnetic sensing


Analog Devices’ compact magnetic sensing technology provides robust and accurate position sensing for superior motion control. The range of magnetic fi eld sensors combine integrated bulk Hall cell technology and instrumentation circuitry to minimize temperature related drifts associated with silicon Hall cell characteristics. For example, the ADA4570 integrated AMR angle sensor combines signal conditioning with differential outputs and allows high precision contactless angular measurements up to 180° with a typical angular error of just ±0.1°. The architecture maximizes the advantages of a monolithic implementation while allowing suffi cient versatility to meet varied application requirements with a minimum number of components.
