Analog Devices has introduced the industry’s fastest operational amplifier for driving heavy loads at high voltage and high output current, including piezoelectric transducers, PIN diodes, laser diodes, power FETs, coils and CCDs. The 40-V ADA4870 amplifier delivers over 1A of output current at more than twice the slew rate (2500 V/s) of competing high output-power amplifiers, enabling applications including higher accuracy, high-intensity ...

Analog Devices’ latest ADSP-BF70x Blackfin digital signal processor family delivers 800 MMACS of processing power at less than 100 mW – double the performance or half the power of competing devices, claims the company. The eight-member Blackfin processor family includes up to 1MBit of internal SRAM, eliminating external memory in many applications, while a second configuration features an optional DDR memory interface.

This short video highlights the key features and benefits of the new ADSP-BF70x Blackfin family of low-power, high performance processors and how this new product represents a significant upgrade to existing DSP solutions on the market today.

Three phase-locked loop (PLL) devices have been launched with one featuring, the company Analog Devices claim, the industry’s widest frequency coverage and lowest VCO phase noise in a single device. The ADF5355 PLL covers a 55 MHz to 14 GHz frequency spectrum, while the ADF4355-2 PLL features a 55 MHz to 4.4 GHz frequency span. Both devices are targeted at RF and microwave communications systems designers who need a single, high-performance...

A FMC module, integrated with HDL code and software drivers for rapid design prototyping and interoperability with Xilinx FPGAs, has been launched by Analog Devices. Available immediately, the AD-FMCADC2-EBZ board provides superior wideband dynamic performance and integrated functionality and enables development and prototyping of advanced RF sampling architectures.

The AD9144 4-channel, 16-bit, 2.8-GSPS D/A converter, billed as the industry’s fastest quad IF D/A converter, has been launched by Analog Devices. The device supports high data rates and ultra-wide signal bandwidth enabling emerging wideband and multiband wireless applications.

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.
