Analog Devices Delivers Industry's Smallest 16-Bit Data Converters.NORWOOD, Mass. -- New nanoDAC(TM) converters resolve space and performance challenges for industrial, and test and measurement applications Seeking to reduce power consumption, circuit board space and overall system cost while simultaneously increasing performance, Analog Devices Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) is an American multinational producer of semiconductor devices. Analog specializes in ADC, DAC, MEMS, and DSP chips for consumer and industrial goods. Analog is presently designing circuits in the 65 nanometer to 3 µm process feature sizes range. , has extended its nanoDAC family of digital-to-analog converters See D/A converter. (DACs) in tiny packaging with nine new offerings that are pin-compatible from 12 to 16 bits. Developed using innovative design and packaging techniques that enable heightened accuracy and functionality in shrinking form factors, these new devices offer, for the first time, up to 16 bits of resolution in compact 2.9 mm x 2.8 mm SOT-23 (small outline transistor) packaging. This represents a 45 percent space-savings over the closest comparable performing DACs, which are housed in larger MSOPs (micro small outline packages). The two flagship products A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. , the AD5060 and AD5660, which offer 16-bit high-precision data conversion while integrating additional circuit components on-chip, are ideal for space-constrained test and measurement equipment and industrial applications, such as open and closed-loop control systems, analog I/O cards and data acquisition boards with resulting reduction in overall system cost. The AD5060 delivers 1 LSB (Linux Standard Base) A standard interface (ABI) for Linux from the Linux Foundation (www.linux-foundation.org). Introduced in 2001 by the Free Standards Group, which later became the Linux Foundation, applications based on the LSB standard will run properly under maximum linearity error (INL INL Idaho National Laboratory INL Inner Nuclear Layer INL Instituut voor Nederlandse Lexicologie INL Integral Non-Linearity INL International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Bureau (US Department of State) ), including its on-chip output buffer amplifier An analog device that is typically used for impedance matching and signal isolation. For example, a sound card typically uses buffer amps at most of its input and output ports. for open loop systems. This level of performance has traditionally only been available using a combination of unbuffered devices in a larger package and a separate external output buffer amplifier. For closed loop systems that benefit from higher levels of integration, the AD5660 contains the industry's highest performing integrated 10 ppm per degree C maximum on-chip reference, which enables superior accuracy, increased integration, and lower system cost. "With these new devices, ADI now provides the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of high-performance DACs in small packages. ADI pushes the boundaries on two axes by increasing resolution while simultaneously decreasing package size," said Mike Britchfield, product line director, precision converters, Analog Devices. "This portfolio includes the AD5641--the world's smallest D/A converter (Digital/Analog converter) A device that converts digital code into analog signals. The most common applications are for generating sound and video. The D/A converter may be contained on a single chip or can be one circuit within a chip. Contrast with A/D converter. , a 14-bit DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter in SC-70 packaging--introduced earlier this year."
