The communications industry is changing rapidly in all directions. Disruption in the 5G ecosystem, lower barriers to participation, and new technologies all require novel approaches. Several leaders from the 5G ecosystem recently gathered to explore the challenges, opportunities, and industry dynamics created by network disaggregation; answer some of the big questions around designing and building disruptive network architectures; and discuss bus...

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Analog Devices have launched the Ocean and Climate Innovation Accelerator (OCIA) consortium. ADI has committed $3m over three years towards the consortium which will focus on advancing knowledge of the ocean’s critical role in combating climate change as well as developing new solutions at the intersection of oceans and climate.

Analog Devices (ADI) has designed a spirit level for the visually impaired. It uses an ADXL312 accelerometer to measure gravitational force in the horizontal and vertical planes and sounds a buzzer when the accelerometer is exactly horizontal or vertical. It can also be used as a tilt sensor to level trailers in automotive applications for example. It can also be used as a subcircuit in automotive stability systems or drones. Simon Bramble, Staff...

Analog Devices has announced a collaboration with MDA to deliver the Beam Forming Integrated Circuit (BFIC) to be used in MDA’s sophisticated phased array antenna for the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Telesat Lightspeed, initially comprised of 298 next-generation satellites, is planned to launch in the second half of 2023 and will redefine global broadband connectivity for commercial, government and ...

Analog Devices (ADI) has introduced a 16-channel, mixed-signal front-end (MxFE) digitiser for aerospace and defence applications, including phased array radars, electronic warfare, and ground-based SATCOM (satellite communications).

Analog Devices has announced a newly commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Analog Devices, that shows that industrial manufacturers who have made investments in connectivity technologies ('high maturity') are better positioned to drive innovation and gain a competitive advantage compared to firms that have been slower to implement connectivity ('low maturity') across the factory floor.

Analog Devices has announced an ASIC-based radio platform for O-RAN compliant 5G radio units that is designed to shorten time to market and meet the evolving needs of 5G networks. The O-RAN ecosystem uses open standards to disaggregate the traditional network and allow greater flexibility and additional features across carrier networks. 

Scott Hunt, System Application Engineer at Analog Devices (ADI), discusses the factors at the heart of a high performance image sensor reference design.

Analog Devices has announced a wireless battery management system (wBMS), which enables automotive manufacturers increased flexibility to scale their electric vehicle fleets into volume production across a wide range of vehicle classes. This wireless battery management system is available for production electric vehicles, and it will debut on General Motors’ production vehicles powered by Ultium batteries.

From 1st to 5th March, Analog Devices (ADI) will participate in embedded world 2021 DIGITAL. Taking place this year as a completely digital event, the trade fair together with its associated conferences will be held in a virtual format.

Analog Devices and Volvo Cars has announced that Volvo Cars’ first pure electric SUV, the Volvo XC40 Recharge, will feature ADI’s integrated circuits (ICs) that support the battery management system (BMS) and Automotive Audio Bus (A2B). 

Functional Safety. Two words that instil fear in a design engineer. It generally means interpreting complex standards, confusing terminology and seemingly endless calculations to develop a product robust enough to be presented to, and approved by, a certification body such as TÜV or Exida.

As we hurtle toward the widespread use of autonomous vehicles, the need for more and more automotive sensors becomes ever more apparent. Cameras are one of the key sensors required to aid the evolution of the autonomous vehicle. Fionn Hurley, Analog Devices (ADI), discusses the company’s C2B.

Analog Devices has introduced a complete condition-based monitoring (CbM) development platform designed to help accelerate condition monitoring hardware, software, and algorithm development.  CN0549 provides mechanically secure, wide bandwidth sensor data with robust, high fidelity data acquisition. 

A practical method to separate common mode and differential mode noise enables power supply designers to reduce design time and BoM

Analog Devices’ Marco La Ciacera, Regional Sales Manager, and Brendan O’Dowd, General Manager, discuss industrial automation, Industry 4.0, and how to prepare for the factory of the future.

The LT8491 buck-boost battery charging controller from Analog Devices features Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), temperature compensation and I2C interface for telemetry and control.

Analog Devices has introduced the AD7134 alias-free analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) that significantly simplifies front-end design and speeds up time to market for precision DC-350kHz applications. Traditional precision data-acquisition signal chain design is a time-consuming activity as designers balance anti-alias filter requirements, passive component tolerances, phase and gain errors, as well as high-speed ADC drive requirements.

The market for electric vehicles (EVs) has changed rapidly over the past few years, transitioning from a technology novelty with an added sustainability benefit, to being a true performance leader in the automotive market. EVs now have the lowest total cost of ownership for consumers and have the benefit of providing a sustainable mobility experience.

Marvell and Analog Devices have announced an advanced 4G/5G radio unit (RU) design that supports high antenna counts and multi-gigabit per second throughput for both integrated RAN and Open RAN deployments.
