Analog
Analog circuits operate on voltages, currents, and electrical signals, from DC to microwave RF frequencies. Analog functions complement digital, which operate solely on binary bits of information, and provide the critical real-world interfaces to sensors, supplies, and communication channe... Morels. Analog IC designers may develop standalone products such as amplifiers and voltage regulators, or develop functions that are embedded in today’s complex Systems on a Chip (SoCs), which rely more and more on mixed-signal analog-digital operation.

Mil system power is cheaper by the dozen (volts)
3 weeks ago — Eran Strod, An Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions perspectiveToday open standard VME and VPX boards come in three flavors of power: 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V. As a result, system designers have to daily confront the extra work and cost of designing custom power supplies when the different boards they select for their…

Configurable A/D peripherals overcome the shortcomings of SoC devices
2 months ago — Robert Murphy, Cypress SemiconductorThe microcontroller selection process often occurs before a design is finalized and while features are being changed on a frequent basis. This makes selecting the right device difficult. Newer System-on-Chip (SoC) devices help with this design challenge – allowing for flexibility in the device’s configuration and routing, enabling implementation of a feature not provided in the original silicon, and repurposing analog and digital resources. These new SoC devices also overcome the resultant challenge when design requirements have exceeded a fixed number of a certain peripheral on the chip. The following examines these design challenges and how they can be overcome via configurable analog and digital peripherals in today’s SoCs.

Latest configurable Analog Front End (AFE) simplifies interfacing to hundreds of sensors
2 months ago — Wil Florentino, RenesasMany of today’s embedded systems incorporate multiple analog sensors that make devices more intelligent, and provide users with an array of information resulting in improved efficiency or added convenience. The Analog Front End (AFE), allowing the connection of the sensor to the digital world of the MCU, is often an assumed “burden” in designing sensor interface circuits. However, the latest concept in a configurable AFE, integrated into a single package, is helping systems designers overcome sensor integration challenges associated with tuning and sensor drift, thereby reducing time to market. The following discussion examines how the versatility of such a technology allows the designer to tune and debug AFE characteristics on the fly, automate trimming and adjust for sensor drift, and add scalability to support multiple sensor types with a single platform.
