Tiny precision data converters cover 14 thru 24-bit resolution ranges

December 3, 2018 By Aimee Kalnoskas

Texas Instruments introduced four tiny precision data converters, each the industry’s smallest in its class. The new data converters enable designers to add more intelligence and functionality, while shrinking system board space. The DAC80508 and DAC70508 are eight-channel precision digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that provide true 16- and 14-bit resolution, respectively. The ADS122C04 and ADS122U04 are […]

Precision ADCs simplify calibration requirements close to O mA

October 18, 2018 By Aimee Kalnoskas

Analog Devices has introduced today two multi-channel +/-10V and 0-20mA precision A/D converters that better enable implementation of programmable logic controller (PLC) and distributed control system (DCS) modules. Leveraging ADI’s iPassives integrated precision passives technology, the AD4111 and AD4112 A/D converters integrate precision matched current sense resistors and resistor dividers. The high degree of channel-to-channel […]

High fidelity audio apps excel with MUS-IC D/A converters

October 11, 2018 By Aimee Kalnoskas

ROHM has launched a new branding “MUS-IC” reflecting ROHM’s focus on solutions for high-fidelity audio products. This branding covers a range of D/A converter ICs (DAC ICs), optimized for high-fidelity reproduction, and power supply products. The increased adoption of high-resolution audio sources has lately strengthened the demand for audio equipment that can deliver an appropriate sound […]

Practical points for Analog-to-Digital Converters

October 17, 2017 By Michael Parks

Confusion often arises around the topic of criteria for picking analog-to-digital converters (ADC). Much discussion is usually given to the sampling rate (also referred to as the conversion rate) which dictates how frequently the source signal must be sampled per second to faithfully reproduce that signal. Twentieth-century electronic communications engineer Harry Nyquist answered that question […]

A/D converter boasts power dissipation of 1.55 W per channel

October 12, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas

Analog Devices, Inc. announced a 14-bit, 2.6 GSPS dual A/D converter which enables IF/RF sampling with superior speed and linearity. The AD9689 A/D converter features power dissipation of 1.55 W per channel, half the dissipation of comparable solutions in the market, thus further increasing suitability for many of its targeted design situations. In addition to the […]
