Able to discern smaller signals in the presence of noise, clutter, blockers and interferers, the 12-bit, 2GSPS, AD9625 ADC has been introduced by Analog Devices. The manufacturer has claimed that it offers the best noise and dynamic range performance in its class for better receiver sensitivity.

Designed for direct RF sampling in communications, instrumentation and military/aerospace applications, the dual-channel, 1.25V,14-bit, 1GSPS AD9680 ADC has been introduced by Analog Devices. The manufacturer has claimed that the device achieves the best noise and dynamic range performance in its class.

A 16-bit, 310-MSPS dual A/D converter, designated the AD9652, has been launched by Analog Devices. The device has been designed to support demanding high-speed signal processing applications that require exceptional linearity and noise performance over a wide input frequency range. The AD9652 can digitize up to 155 MHz of signal bandwidth and provides an analog input bandwidth of 650 MHz.

PCIM 2014: Jitter clean-up and synchronisation for systems, including synchronous optical networks is provided with the AD9554 multi-service adaptive quad-channel clock translator with clock multiplier from Analog Devices. An embedded cross-point switch at the input is more flexible, says the company, and has a lower cost of ownership, compared with maintaining different clocking configurations of multiple parts.

Analog Devices (ADI) has arrived at PCIM armed with a platform of solutions described by Anders Frederiksen, Segment Marketing Manager, Motor & Power Control as “a mix of solutions that we have to offer with an emphasis on the intelligent power domain.” These are based around ADI’s move towards offering systems solutions to “provide value-added to the customer,” Frederiksen commented.

Analog Devices will demonstrate a broad portfolio of smartly integrated solutions that optimise system performance and show the development and rapid prototyping of solutions and tools at this year’s PCIM 2014 show taking place from 20-22 May in Nuremberg, Germany. Analog Devices will be present in Hall 6, Stand 326.  

An ultra-low-power boost regulator for photovoltaic and thermoelectric energy harvesting systems has been unveiled by Analog Devices. The ADP5090 boost regulator delivers efficient conversion of harvested power (as low as 10uW) with sub-uW operational losses that stores the maximum amount of energy for future operation.

Utilising the company's high-resolution, high-speed ADC sensing technology and proprietary non-linear transfer functionality, the ADP1055 has been announced by Analog Devices. This advanced digital power controller with PMBus interface achieves high-bandwidth performance and transient response equivalent to traditional analog switching controllers.

Designed as an integrated power solution for picocell and femtocell base stations, portable and handheld devices requiring a compact and integrated power solution, the ADP505x PMICs from Analog Devices target compact, high density power solutions for RF agile radio and FPGA/processor-based applications.

A family of power management ICs targeting compact, high density power solutions for RF agile radio and FPGA/processor-based applications has been announced by Analog Devices. The ADP505x family of power management ICs was designed as an integrated power solution for picocell and femtocell base stations, portable and handheld devices as well as most applications needing a compact, integrated power solution.

Two software-defined radio (SDR) platform solutions and ecosystems have been announced by Analog Devices to simplify rapid SDR system prototyping and development in applications ranging from defence electronics, RF instrumentation, communications infrastructure and open-source SDR development projects.

Extending the existing nanoDAC product portfolio, the AD5683R D/A converter from ADI delivers high performance in a smaller package. The 16-bit, single-channel, nanoDAC+ boasts relative accuracy of ±2-LSB INL, a 2-ppm/°C 2.5-V reference and a space saving LFCSP package.

Frequency synthesis and clock generation are now key elements in all aspects of high speed data acquisition and RF design. In this session, the primary types of frequency synthesizers—phase-locked loops (PLL) and direct digital synthesizers (DDS)—are discussed, along with the applications for when each is appropriate.

Acquired analog signals can be manipulated and processed by either the analog or digital portions of a system, for example, through filtering, multiplexing, and gain control. The analog portions of a system can typically provide reasonably simple processing at fairly low cost, power, and overhead.

In Hall 4, Stand 248, Analog Devices will present their embedded processing technology at this year’s Embedded World 2014.

Claiming to provide the lowest power in the smallest package size in their class, the 14b AD9249 and AD9681 are the latest ADCs from Analog Devices. The 16-channel, 65-MSPS AD9249 and the 8-channel, 125-MSPS AD9681 are designed for multi-channel data acquisition at low power where a small package size is crucial to the overall design.

Adding an audio-centric device to the company's SigmaDSP processor line, the ADAU1452 from Analog Devices greatly exceeds the signal processing capabilities of earlier SigmaDSP devices. Executing up to three times more audio processing algorithms than its predecessors, hardware and software updates enable the processor to give system designers the flexibility to improve the audio performance of their products.

Enabling the distribution of HD audio and video content across a range of systems, three HDMI crosspoint transceivers were unveiled by ADI at the 2014 CES. The ADV7625 and ADV7626 crosspoint transceivers include up to five HDMI inputs and up to two HDMI outputs and support full audio extraction and insertion (SPDIF and 8-channel I2S audio) for each video channel.
