High-Performance Data-Acquisition

Analog Devices

This article showcases a high-precision, low-power signal chain that solves the challenges of multichannel applications—such as digital X-ray—that multiplex large and small signal measurements from multiple channels, as well as oversampled applications—such as MRI—that require low noise, high dynamic range, and wide bandwidth...

ADC Input Protection

Texas Instruments

Many businesses and service providers rely heavily on distributed LAN/WAN internetworking equipment. The revenue stream from internetworking equipment is jeopardized with the long list of problems caused by a failed network. Potential disasters include lost revenue, customer dissatisfaction, decreased productivity and service level agreement penalties.

Versatile High Precision Programmable Current Sources

Analog Devices

Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC’s) are at the heart of any design which involves capturing the analog signal. This is usually the most important and highest-cost component in the signal chain. Since the signal chain is interfaced to the varying analog world signals, it is critical to protect the ADC inputs. This application note lists different techniques to protect the ADC inputs from the signals which can be beyond the ADC specifications.
