RF Transceiver speeds development of 2G-5G base stations, phased-array radar
Billed as the industry’s widest bandwidth RF transceiver, the ADRV9009 RF transceiver is a single-chip time-domain duplex (TDD) IC delivering twice the bandwidth (200 MHz) of previous-generation devices and replaces as many as 20 components, cutting power in half and package size by 60%. The ADRV9009 meets the rigorous antenna density and expanded network capacity […]
Built-in analog-to-digital converters
There are sensors for a plethora of smart applications that can measure a wide range of parameters (e.g., temperature, light, acceleration, pressure, proximity, etc.). The real world data is analog. Therefore sensors typically provide analog data in the form of voltage (e.g., 0V-5V) and most of the time this data is later transformed into digital […]
PCB layout guidelines and considerations
A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout, in its most basic form, is a means to transfer a circuit from a breadboard to a more stable and permanent physical form. Whereas entire books and college coursework have been dedicated to PCB layout, what follows is a short overview of what to consider when making a PCB. […]
Integrated RF + Linux module simplifies wireless product development
Epiq Solutions, an engineering company dedicated to developing flexible radio modules and wireless sensing solutions, has introduced Sidekiq Z2, an industrial grade highly integrated wideband RF transceiver plus Linux computer on a tiny module measuring just 30mm x 51mm x 5mm. Sidekiq Z2 radically simplifies the typical RF product development cycle, allowing engineering teams to focus their […]
Rugged RS485 transceiver meets IEC Level 4 ESD standard
Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTC2862A, an enhanced version of the widely accepted LTC2862 ±60V tolerant RS485/RS422 transceiver that released several years ago. Both of these half-duplex transceivers eliminate field failures without the need of costly external protection devices by protecting practical RS485 systems from installation cross-wiring faults, ground […]
Wireless technology and design environment expanded for 4G to 5G migration
Analog Devices, Inc. announced the latest update to its RadioVerse technology and design ecosystem, which simplifies and accelerates radio development for wireless carriers and telecommunications equipment manufacturers as they transition their cellular base stations from 4G to 5G networks. ADI’s expanded RadioVerse portfolio features new radio transceiver hardware, software tools, and a robust design environment that […]
DSPs expand internal memory and data memory for automotive audio applications
Analog Devices, Inc. today announced four fixed-point digital signal processors (DSPs) qualified for automotive applications. Designed to fit the emerging demands of new and improved audio algorithms, the ADAU1466 and ADAU1467 SigmaDSP processors offer market-leading performance in fixed point DSP processors with three times the internal program memory and two times the internal data memory of […]
2-port embedded Ethernet switch brings improved connectivity to intelligent factory operations
Analog Devices, Inc. introduced a Real-time Ethernet, Multi-protocol (REM) switch chip as part of its new generation of high performance, deterministic Ethernet connectivity solutions for connected motion and Intelligent Factory applications. The fido5000, developed by ADI’s Deterministic Ethernet Technology Group (formally Innovasic), reduces board size and power consumption while improving Ethernet performance at the node under […]
