Watch this video to see how the strengths of Analog Devices components and systems may be leveraged to realise an ultra-low power wireless sensor node.

Analog Devices has announced the Power by Linear LTC7815, a high frequency (up to 2.25MHz) triple output (buck, buck, boost), synchronous DC/DC controller that maintains all output voltages in regulation during automotive cold crank conditions. A 12V automotive battery can droop to less than 4V during engine restart or cold crank, causing reset of infotainment systems and other electronics that operate from 5V and higher.

A supercapacitor charger and backup power controller IC has been announced by Analog Devices. The Power by Linear LTC3351 includes hot swap front-end protection and all the features necessary to provide a complete, standalone capacitor-based backup power solution. The LTC3351’s integrated hot swap controller and circuit breaker use N-channel MOSFETS to provide a low loss power path from the input to the output, plus foldback current limitin...

  Analog Devices has announced a PMBus I2C controlled precision bidirectional current DAC designed to adjust the output voltage of virtually any DC/DC regulator. Through its PMBus compatible interface, the LTC7106 receives a 7-bit serial code and converts it to a bidirectional (source, sink) output current.

A low power, high performance active double-balanced mixer, named LTC5562 has been announced by Analog Devices. It is capable of 50Ω matching over a very wide frequency range of 30MHz to 7GHz. This versatile mixer can be used in either frequency up-conversion or down-conversion applications, with a conversion gain of 2dB. The device runs on a single 3.3V supply rail, drawing 40mA nominal operating current.

Analog Devices has announced a hybrid step-down synchronous controller that merges a switched capacitor circuit with a synchronous step-down controller, the Power by Linear LTC7821, enabling up to a 50% reduction in DC/DC converter solution size compared to traditional step-down solutions. This improvement is enabled by a three times higher switching frequency without compromising efficiency. 

In this video, Chris Jacobs from Analog Devices discusses the company's Drive360 Autonomous Driving Solutions. Drive360 is a portfolio of products that enable autonomous driving solutions.

A dual channel, 36V, high efficiency, synchronous, step-down LED driver with internal 40V, 1.6A power switches and an I2C interface that simplifies LED dimming control, has been announced by Analog Devices. The Power by Linear LT3964 operates with a wide 4-36V input range, and features two independently controlled LED drivers that switch at up to 2MHz, resulting in a highly integrated, compact solution with small external components.

Caroline Hayes visited the Californian home of Power by Linear to find out how the sub-brand is thriving in its relationship as part of Analog Devices.

Analog Devices has introduced a precision integrated analogue 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% more channels in the same amount of space, adding capacity and increasing battery production throughput.

Analog Devices has announced an active rectifier controller with reverse input protection to -40V, named Power by Linear LT8672. Its 3-42V input voltage capability is suitable for automotive applications which must regulate through cold-crank and stop-start scenarios with minimum input voltages as low as 3.0V and load dump transients up to 40V.

A series of five high performance Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) have been announced by Analog Devices (ADI) 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 deliver performance improvements in smallest size with standard surface mount assembly.

  Analog Devices has introduced a 9KHz-7GHz 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.

Analog Devices has 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 1.55W per channel, half the dissipation of comparable solutions in the market, thus further increasing suitability for many of its targeted design situations.

At next week's European Microwave Week 2017, Analog Devices (ADI) will share their newest innovations. From a DC to 34 GHz MEMS switch to the first wideband transceiver with digital predistortion (DPD) integrated on the chip, ADI will have their advanced technologies to share at the show. Visitors will find the ADI booth from 8th to 13th October at booth 111 A. ADI demonstrations at Microwave Week will include:

Analog Devices, who recently acquired Linear Technology has announced the LTM8065, a µModule (power module) step-down regulator with up to 40V input voltage (42V abs max), which can safely operate from unregulated or fluctuating 12-36V input supplies in noisy environments such as industrial robotics, test and measurement, medical, factory automation and avionics systems.

For 50 years ADI has serviced the aerospace and defence industry with high performance solutions in radar, EW, military communications, avionics, and space.

Question: When you’re designing a signal conditioning block for a precision sensor analogue front end, should you use an op amp with rail-to-rail input? Daniel Burton, an Applications Engineer at Analog Devices, provides the answers.

Analog Devices (ADI) are this year exhibiting at the IoT Solutions World Congress 2017 (IOTWC17) in Barcelona. Experts will be available to discuss how ADI is able to support companies with improved technology in the IoT sector.
