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.

 

“Both large and small customers are increasing the speed of their design cycles and time to market through low-touch mechanisms,” said Anders Frederiksen, Segment Marketing Manager, Motor and Power Control. “Together with our strategic industry alliance partners, Mathworks, Boston Engineering, ARM and others, Analog Devices provides design engineers with easy-to-use graphical based design tools and system level understanding that make their design challenges easier.”

With over 45 years of signal processing experience, ADI products are found in a wide range of applications with a special emphasis on optimizing energy efficiency in industrial automation, alternative energy, and building technologies using the latest advancements in motor and power control products and techniques.

Analog Devices will unveil a number of in-booth technology demonstrations that will include feedback and sensing, isolation of control and interface, power management, communication and data processing for motor control and solar photovoltaic inverter applications. 

  • The Motor Control and Photovoltaic demonstrations include ADI’s high-performance Mixed-signal Control Processor (ADSP-CM40x) controlling multiple high-precision servos in conjunction with best-in-class front-end control, isolation and power signal processing solutions.
  • The current and voltage sense demonstration will put the spotlight on  new additions to the ADI product family that play an important role in many high performance current sense applications including FPGA (Xilinx®) based and ADI analog frontends used in more complex controller platforms.
  • The advanced digital power demonstrations showcase ADI’s advanced digital controllers designed for isolated DC-to-DC power conversion control and the benefits of Power Factor Correction (PFC). The ADP105x digital controllers with PMBus™ interface combined with ADI iCoupler® digital isolation technology offer customers high accuracy telemetry and the ability to optimize efficiency at a system level. There will be a live demo of the ADP1055 in a 240W DC-to-DC power supply.
  • Fast, accurate and reliable network communications is a vital part of any industrial automated system. Analog Devices will feature an optimized real-time Ethernet protocol support integrated with a Permanent Magnet (PM) motor control application using ADI’s recently released Mixed-signal Control Processor (ADSP-CM408F), in partnership with FPGA solutions from Altera® and Xilinx®.  

Highlights at the show also include a series of presentations by Analog Devices’ experts during the official conference programme:

20th May:

  • Maximum Power Limit for Withstand Insulation Capability of IGBT/MOSFET Gate Drivers – Dr.-Ing. Bernhard Strzalkowski, Senior Power Systems Applications Engineer
