National Semiconductor's online tool for sensor signal path solutions

National Semiconductor Corp. introduced a new sensor signal path design tool named "WEBENCH sensor designer tool", that enables engineers to quickly move from concept to simulation to prototyping of common sensor solutions used in medical, industrial and high-end consumer products.

This tool helps to reduce the design time by configuring a complete sensor signal path solution with few keystrokes, otherwise designer has to spend development time in matching sensor characteristics and performance with an op amp's DC performance, ADC's resolution and accuracy, and additional time for circuit evaluation and prototyping.

The tool streamlines the sensor interface and data conversion design, allowing the engineer to focus on the other parts of the overall system. Also it matches the sensor with National's op-amps & ADCs.
