Motorola, Inc.'s Semiconductor Products Sector (SPS) is delivering the first device from its MPC5500 family to the automotive market. Based on the PowerPC architecture, the MPC5554 32-bit embedded ...

Sensors automate most of the processes in industry. Most of these sensors, such as those for ammonia gas, temperature, and the like, are resistive devices in which electrical resistance changes—mostly ...

An analog system-on-chip integrates an on-chip precision 16-bit ADC and 10 Msps 12-bit ADC, plus a DAC and dual operational amplifiers, along with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology for extended ...

Microchip's latest 16-bit PIC24 microcontroller includes both a high precision 16-bit ADC and a 10 Msample/s 12-bit ADC in a single package. It is ideal for analog applications such as glucose meters.

ELECTRONIC DESIGN (ED): Is there a clear direction for power supplies for converters? Osgood: Analog functions are having to address the different voltage standards, dropping from 5 to 3 V and lower.

With modern microcontrollers, the process of interfacing with the analogue world is easy. Simply enable the on-board DAC or ADC, and talk to the world. If you’ve ever done this with a slightly older ...
