Fast 16-Bit 1.5Msps/Channel Octal Simultaneous Sampling SAR ADC Maintains AC Performance up to the Nyquist Frequency

MILPITAS, CA – December 14, 2016 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2320-16, a 16-bit 1.5Msps per channel, no latency successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with eight simultaneously sampling channels supporting a rail-to-rail input common mode range. The LTC2320-16 features a flexible analog front end that accepts fully differential, unipolar or bipolar analog input signals, as well as arbitrary input signals, and maintains an 82dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 102dB, when sampling input signals up to the Nyquist frequency. This wide input bandwidth of the LTC2320 allows the digitization of input signals up to … Read More → "Fast 16-Bit 1.5Msps/Channel Octal Simultaneous Sampling SAR ADC Maintains AC Performance up to the Nyquist Frequency"

New EEMBC Benchmark Opens the Door on IoT Gateway Performance

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. — November 29, 2016 —EEMBC®, the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium setting the industry standard for valuable application-specific benchmarks, announced its effort on a benchmark to measure how gateways perform in specific Internet of Things vertical markets. In general, an IoT gateway lives at or near the ‘edge’. The gateway is used to gather and manage data from multiple sources (sensors, IoT devices), process data locally (instead of on the cloud), react to and predict events, and send data to the cloud. IoT gateways are available in many form factors to support a wide range of vertical … Read More → "New EEMBC Benchmark Opens the Door on IoT Gateway Performance"
