Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2508-32, an ultrahigh precision 32-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Many high performance applications, including data acquisition, industrial control and medical instrumentation, require both accuracy and speed. This is often achieved by using a high resolution delta-sigma ADC and a high speed SAR ADC in the same system. […]

Gallery: Electronics in the spotlight at Xponential 2016 unmanned systems exhibition
Though the Xponential unmanned systems exhibition has a reputation for showing off a lot of exotic hardware, there were numerous developments on the electronics front at this year’s event. Themes we noticed included manufacturers paying more attention to the handling of huge data flows generated by optical and thermal sensors that sit onboard UAVs these […]

4Gbaud quad-channel linear modulator driver
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), has announced the MAOM-006428, the industry’s first 64Gbaud quad-channel linear Mach Zehnder modulator driver. This device will support data rates of 400 Gbps and beyond on a single wavelength for long haul communications using coherent technology. By increasing the data rate on a single wavelength, operators can increase capacity and […]

Amplifying DC voltage from 5V to 12V – I use an Arduino board with a 5V output supply but I Ineed to operate 12V motor. I know that I could connect the Arduino to a 12V power supply to solve the problem. But but I can’t do it for some of reason so I have to build […]
World’s 1st thermocouple EMF-to-Celsius converter
Microchip Technology Inc., a provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, announced the MCP9600—the world’s first thermocouple-conditioning integrated circuit to combine precision instrumentation, a precision temperature sensor and a precision, high-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC), in addition to a math engine preprogrammed with the firmware to support a broad range of standard thermocouple types (K, […]
One chip, any temperature sensor — IC digitizes all temp. sensors
A chip called the LTC2983 directly digitizes RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors and external diodes with 0.1°C accuracy and 0.001°C resolution. The device combines low-noise and low-offset-buffered ADCs with excitation and control circuits for each type of sensor. The chip precisely measures absolute microvolt-level signals from thermocouples and ratiometric resistance measurements from RTDs and thermistors, linearizes the results […]
