Analog Devices has announced the completion of its acquisition of Linear Technology. The combination creates the premier analog technology company with the industry’s most comprehensive suite of high-performance analog offerings and integrated engineering, manufacturing, sales and support operations that will accelerate innovation and revenue growth opportunities.

Analog Devices announced the Drive360TM 28nm CMOS RADAR technology platform that builds on its established ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), MEMS, and RADAR technology portfolio used throughout the automotive industry. Analog Devices is the first to offer automotive RADAR technology based on a 28nm CMOS process and the new Drive360 RADAR platform brings RF performance to advanced safety and autonomous driving applications.

Analog Devices (ADI) has selected Arrow Electronics as its strategic distribution channel partner operating globally. ADI will retain its current regional distributor network but will employ Arrow as its sole global distribution channel partner.  The decision sees Avnet Silica and EBV Elektronik, an Avnet company, depart the Analog Devices distribution network.  

Three enhanced Automotive Audio Bus (A2B) transceivers have been announced by Analog Devices, which are useful for distributing audio and control data plus clock and power over a single, Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable. The AD242x series of A2B transceivers offers a flexible slave-to-slave communication capability as well as support for reduced data-sampling rates.

Analog Devices (ADI) has announced that it has been honoured with the 2017 IEEE Corporate Innovation Award 'for sustained innovation and leadership in the development of high-performance data converter technology and products.' 

The precision location of first responders deep within GPS denied infrastructure has been an elusive goal of the fire safety and emergency personnel community for well over a decade. The objective is to pinpoint a location to within a few metres, over the course of tens of minutes. Bob Scannell, Analog Devices explains.

This video reviews the diagnostics on the AD7124-4 and AD7124-8.

The acquisition of a solid-state laser beam steering technology from Vescent Photonics has been announced by Analog Devices (ADI). Vescent’s non-mechanical beam steering technology enables more robust integrated LIDAR systems that overcome many of the major drawbacks associated with today’s bulky mechanical offerings such as reliability, size, and cost. 

  Daniel Burton of Analog Devices (ADI) offers some advice when selecting an op amp for a precision signal path, and asks, is faster always better?

Analog Devices has announced the acquisition of Innovasic which adds a suite of multi-protocol industrial Ethernet solutions and key enabling technologies to ADI’s smart automation solutions portfolio for industrial automation and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

A Proof Of Concept (POC) for an Internet of Things (IoT) solution has been unveiled by Analog Devices and DELL EMC that tracks the health and location of first responders. The POC IoT solution is designed to improve the safety and effectiveness of first responders when involved in an emergency situation, especially those in harsh environments. 

Analog Devices has announced two three-axis MEMS accelerometers that perform high resolution vibration measurement with very low noise to enable the early detection of structural defects via wireless sensor networks. The low power consumption of the ADXL354 and ADXL355 accelerometers lengthens battery life and allows extended product usage by reducing the time between battery changes.

To help extend the health and life of industrial equipment while saving developers significant time and cost over custom solutions, Analog Devices has introduced a highly integrated polyphase analogue front end (AFE) with power quality analysis. Achieving accurate, power quality monitoring typically requires customised development, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

At the Commercial UAV Show (19th-20th October, stand 27) in London, UK, Analog Devices has introduced a tactical grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) featuring precision and stability in the smallest, lightest and lowest power solution available. The high-performance ADIS16490 IMU paves the way for high-accuracy navigation, guidance, and positioning. 

Analog Devices announced a low power, next-gen biopotential analog front end (AFE) which enables smaller, lighter, and less obtrusive cardiac monitoring devices with longer battery life. The AD8233 AFE is a fully integrated, single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) front end designed in one compact, easy-to-use component. Typically, developers need to design ECG front ends from individual components, which can add incremental cost and design time.

Back at electronica this year, in Munich, Germany, Analog Devices, (ADI), will exhibit a broad range of simplified solutions and innovative technologies across 6 application areas, and a total of 18 live demonstrations covering healthcare, instrumentation, process control, automotive, energy and Internet of Things.

Analog Devices introduced highly integrated RX/TX converters that significantly improve the reliability, cost, and time to market for microwave and millimeter wave mobile operators and telecom equipment manufacturers. The HMC8100 and HMC8200 Rx/Tx converters uniquely incorporate a wide array of functions, replacing multiple discrete parts to provide a single-source, high-performance solution for microwave backhaul applications.

Analog Devices has introduced four high performance RF and microwave standard modules that extend and strengthen its standard module product portfolio. The new modules complement ADI’s existing product offerings by delivering easy-to-use, fully integrated, hermetically sealed solutions that dramatically shorten the proof-of-concept phase of the design cycle and help reduce the overall in-house technical support needed to assemble, test, and...

In an effort to enhance smart grid equipment monitoring in order to protect equipment from harmful system faults and improve power delivery to residences and businesses, Analog Devices, Inc (ADI) has announced a new data acquisition system (DAS).
