Minimizing electrical noise to improve medical-ultrasound images, Part 3
Low-noise circuitry is critical to image quality of medical ultrasound, an indispensable diagnostic tool. Efficiency versus noise It may seem that if there is a tradeoff between power-supply noise versus potential efficiency, the need for ultralow noise in the ultrasound application should prevail. After all, a few more tens of milliwatts of dissipation should not […]
SAE ADCs boast sampling speeds of 10 to 125 MSPS
Texas Instruments expanded its portfolio of high-speed data converters with a broad new family of successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that enable high-precision data acquisition in industrial designs. Featuring best-in-class dynamic range at the lowest power consumption, the ADC3660 family includes eight SAR ADCs in 14-, 16- and 18-bit resolution at sampling speeds […]
OPA388 zero-drift, zero-crossover op amp brings high precision
Billed as the first operational amplifier (op amp) to offer both zero-drift and zero-crossover technology, the OPA388 maintains high precision across the entire input range for a variety of industrial applications, including test and measurement, medical and safety equipment, and high-resolution data-acquisition systems. Developed by Texas Instruments, the OPA388 realizes ultra-high input linearity and precision. […]
