Analog signal chain: top 10 latest Op Amps for your system design
From simple temperature sensor to today's advanced AI powered automation systems, they all need analog interface to connect to the outside world. With the fast growth of automation in every sector, the number of sensors connected to a system is increasing exponentially. Sensors normally produce very low power signal. They need to be amplified, and then digitised using analog to digital converter. In the analog-front-end area of amplifiers, drivers, and analog to digital converters, the innovations is not that frequent and wide-spread compared to digital logic electronics. However small improvement in performance is significant in design improvements of high- reliable precision electronic systems.
In this 3 series article we are providing some key information on latest amplifiers, analog to digital converter, analog front-end chips ( devices packing both amplifiers and ADCs) launched in recent years.
Precision is compulsion these days, and so is the accuracy. What is also important is chips consuming less power, and taking lesser physical space. Based on the application you are targeting, there are lots of other specifications need to be looked at to fulfill your end application requ...
