Integrated controller handles Li-ion battery formation and grading tasks
Analog Devices, Inc. today introduced a precision integrated analog front end, controller, and pulse-width modulator (PWM) for battery testing and formation capable of increasing system accuracy and efficiency in lithium-ion battery formation and grading. Compared to conventional technology, the new AD8452 provides 50 percent more channels in the same amount of space, adding capacity and increasing […]
Inertial measurement units designed for autonomous machine navigation
Analog Devices, Inc. announced a series of five high-performance inertial measurement units (IMUs) that address the navigation- and safety-related needs of industrial applications in several emerging markets, while also reducing their system complexity and cost. The ADIS16470, ADIS16475 and ADIS16477 IMUs are optimized to provide a range of performance, cost, and application-suitability needs. The ADIS16465 and […]
How can you get a ballpark price for a sensor in a new design?
Pricing is one of the top criteria for selecting one sensor supplier over another and often for specifying a specific sensor over another for a new design. Some sensor companies, such as semiconductor companies that supply microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and other semiconductor-based sensors, have a buy page on their website with low volume pricing. For […]
Synchronous step-down switcher delivers 4 A with 94% efficiency
The LT8650S is a dual 4A, 42V input synchronous step-down switching regulator. It’s unique Silent Switcher2 architecture uses four internal input capacitors as well as two internal BST and a single INTVCC capacitor to minimize the area of the hot loops. Combined with very well controlled switching edges and an internal construction using copper pillars […]
Step-down regulator delivers 2 A from tiny 6.25 x 4-mm BGA package
The LTM8063 from Analog Devices is a 40VIN, 2A µModule step-down regulator in a tiny 6.25mm x 4mm BGA package. According to the company, the package size is 75% smaller than the existing equivalent product. With two 0805 size capacitors and two 0603 size resistors, the solution is only 70mm². The Silent Switcher architecture minimizes EMI emissions, enabling the […]
Analog Devices, imec partner to create utlra-low power sensor devices for IoT
Imec, and Analog Devices, Inc. announced they have entered into a strategic research partnership to develop the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. With two initiatives already underway, imec and ADI aim to innovate devices that are not only low-power but that also come with largely improved—or completely new—sensing capabilities. The IoT continues […]
A/D converter boasts power dissipation of 1.55 W per channel
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 […]
Directional bridge/dual RMS RF power detector IC covers 9 kHz to 7 GHz
Analog Devices, Inc. introduced a 9 KHz – 7 GHz directional bridge and dual RMS RF power detector that can simultaneously measure forward and reverse RMS power levels in a signal path along with return loss. The new ADL5920 detector represents a change to conventional approaches by integrating a directional bridge-based coupler that results in an […]
Step-down regulator supports N+1 current sharing
Analog Devices, Inc. is now offering the LTM4645, a 25A step-down regulator with the ability to current share multiple independent devices (N) where at least one LTM4645 is used as backup (+1) to ensure power availability if one device in this N+1 arrangement detects a fault and must be disconnected. For example, a 75A, 1V load […]
