Mixed Signal/Analog

Learn how to use the evaluation module for the OPT3101, a high speed, high resolution analogue-front-end for time-of-flight based proximity sensing.

Targeting key medical and industrial applications, STMicroelectronics has launched a high-voltage, compact, robust and cost-effective transmission pulser solution, built using ST’s proven BCD8s-SOI technology that supports analogue (Bipolar), digital (CMOS), and power (DMOS) circuits on the same die.

The 12-bit TLA202x delta-sigma analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) from Texas Instruments (TI) are available from distributor Mouser Electronics. Drawing currents as low as 150µA, the highly integrated TLA202x ADCs are designed for system-monitoring applications such as supply or battery voltage supervision, current sensing, and temperature measurements.

  Thalia Design Automation and Catena have announced successful completion of their first jointly delivered analogue IP reuse projects. The two companies have worked together to migrate Catena’s WiFi and variants of Bluetooth IP including a low power version, between multiple sub-40nm process nodes and foundry providers.

Ultrasound has a very old history. The ecosystem is mature and there are numerous applications and technologies. As part of this ultrasound industry, the semiconductor technologies supporting micromachined ultrasonic transducers were developed a long while ago, but the market never responded.

ON Semiconductor has announced two new products that can be used together in USB-C (Type-C) applications while offering benefits in other modern power-oriented applications. The devices are the FSA4480, a USB Type-C analog audio switch with integrated protection, and the NCS21x series of current sense amplifiers.

In this video from Tektronix, you will see tests of the future with Tektronix new 6 series MSO mixed signal oscilloscope.

The AD5767 12-bit voltage output denseDAC digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) from Analog Devices is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. Designed to reduce the system footprint for wired telecommunications systems without compromising performance, the 16-channel DAC provides the required discrete components and necessary bias ranges for coherent, fibre-based optical systems from medium- to long-haul implementations.

OmniVision has announced the OVMed, a new mixed-signal Image Signal Processor (ISP) designed for medical, veterinarian and industrial endoscopy applications. The OVMed ISP offers image processing features and high image quality. It also integrates easily with commercial hardware and software, and meets stringent medical certification standards, thus decreasing development cost and time to market, allowing designers to focus on developing differen...

The 16-bit ADS112C04 delta-sigma analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments (TI) is in stock at Mouser Electronics. Drawing currents as low was 315µA, the converter enables reduced system cost and component count in applications that measure small sensor signals, including resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, thermistors, resistive bridge sensors, and medical monitoring systems.
