Precision data acquisition (DAQ) systems are popular in industrial applications. In some DAQ applications, low power and ultralow noise are required. One example is seismic sensor-related applications, where a lot of information can be extracted from seismic data that is useful for a wide range of applications such as structural health monitoring, geophysical research, oil exploration, and even industrial and household safety (Reference 1.)

Analog Devices announced that its expanded portfolio of battery management system (BMS) products including ASIL-D functional safety and new low-power features to enable continuous battery monitoring.

Analog Devices and Audinate have introduced the Dante Embedded Platform (DEP) SDK for ADI's SHARC audio DSPs, which layers audio-over-IP network software on multicore SHARC ADSP-SC5xx applications processors. The single-chip solution has been validated by Audinate, allowing engineers to develop with confidence using the DEP for SHARC solution.

A new approach using portable or wearable monitoring devices and point-of-care medical equipment promises to improve patient outcomes and reduce pressure on public healthcare facilities.

Distance measurement and object detection play significant roles in numerous areas, whether it be in factory automation, robotics applications, or logistics.

In part 1 of this article series, we explored why switch current is important, what output current is required to satisfy expected loads, and the differences between selecting a buck and boost dc-to-dc converter.
