Analog Devices has introduced an electrometer-grade operational amplifier that enables chemical analysis instruments to achieve the highest level of precision and data repeatability over a wider temperature range in a compact solution that reduces overall BOM and design footprint. The ADA4530-1 op amp achieves this with an input bias current that is at least 20 times lower than competing devices.

ThingWorx and Analog Devices have joined forces to offer an integrated sensor-to-cloud environment using the ThingWorx IoT Platform. Smart, connected devices can generate thousands of real-time readings that create tremendous amounts of data. The collaboration is designed to make it easier for customers to intelligently bridge the physical and digital worlds with technologies that sense, measure and connect.

A high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs was announced by Analog Devices at European Microwave Week in Paris.

Analog Devices has introduced a medium-power, distributed driver amplifier which operates between 24 and 35GHz. The HMC1131 provides 22dB of gain, +35dBm output IP3, and +24dBm of output power at 1dB gain compression. The amplifier reduces the number of components required to achieve the desired output power and small signal gain, which lowers development costs and design time by enabling simpler transmit line-ups and higher integration.
