Integrated/Special Purpose D/A Converters

Analog Devices’ A/D and D/A converters combine with other technologies in a wide range of configurations to create a comprehensive portfolio of software configurable inputs/outputs (SWIO), integrated monitoring, and control components. In combining these A/D and D/A converters with temperature sensors, GPIOs, and current sensing technologies, ADI’s integrated solutions save space over discrete implementations, simplify operations, and provide the configurability, reliability, and predictability that your system requires. A/D and D/A converter combination products are ideal for configurable input/output stages or for general system monitoring of peripherals like power supplies or system voltages and currents. This results in these A/D and D/A converter solutions being used in wireless base stations, optical transceivers, transponders, and in industrial I/O module applications, as well as systems such as programmable logic controllers, control systems, and building control due to their versatility and flexibility, as well as their software configurable I/Os.

Analog Devices audio codecs feature extended temperature range, low noise and distortion, and easy multichannel interfacing to common DSPs, such as SHARC^® and SigmaDSP^®, and bring high fidelity to any audio signal chain. When combined with our DSP products and our SigmaStudio^® software, audio engineers can craft world-class audio experiences with a minimum of programming skills. ADI has audio codecs for many different applications, such as automotive, home theater, consumer audio, and PCs, and they are also widely used in systems such as automotive infotainment and road noise cancellation. Many soundbars use our audio codecs to enhance the sound to give you the best home theater experience.

Analog Devices offers a broad range of audio DACs for a number of applications. With a wide range of performance available, these audio DACs are perfectly suited for applications such as automotive audio, DVD players and recorders, audio video receivers, professional mixing consoles, and digital effects boxes.

Analog Devices’ world-leading direct digital synthesis ICs incorporate features such as on-board comparators, RAM, PLLs, mixers, and registers. ADI direct digital synthesis products provide fast acquisition, highly accurate PSK and FSK modulation or high precision tuning resolution, among other benefits. They are an ideal synthesizer solution in applications where precise or agile frequency and phase control is required, such as systems for communications, test equipment, and radar.

Scalable Software-Defined Radio Solution with 18 GHz Bandwidth

The MxFE^® products from Analog Devices offer a smart integration of RF analog-to-digital converters (ADC), RF digital-to-analog converters (DAC), on-chip digital signal processing, and clock/PLL for multichip synchronization. This allows for the elimination of discrete data converters and traditional RF front-end components to reduce size, weight, power, and cost. Integrated digital signal processing supports the transition to software-defined radio platforms, creating a highly configurable, common hardware/software platform that can be used in multiple applications across a broad array of end markets.

Analog Devices offers the industry’s highest density symbols-to-QAM RF solutions on the market. With a capacity of up to 160 QAM channels and 6 OFDM channels, our QAM modulators are highly flexible and confgurable and allow the fastest time to market at the lowest power and cost per QAM.

Analog Devices digital up/downconverters serve as the frequency translator and digital filter between data converters and DSP blocks. These products enable highly programmable and configurable receive and transmit signal chains, allowing multichannel, multicarrier radio platforms in 3G wireless base stations. They also meet the digital data conversion requirements for many other communications applications

For designers requiring complementary high precision, high speed video digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, Analog Devices offers a single generation of video codecs. Designed to provide analog video input/output capability for proprietary video systems, ASICs, or FPGAs, the ADV7202 supplies raw video conversion and basic analog signal processing and conditioning to allow highly efficient, well partitioned systems architecture.
