Micro Analog Systems releases Low Power Piezo Resistive Sensor Signal Interface IC

Helsinki, Finland – 06 October 2011 – Micro Analog Systems Oy today announced MAS6502, a 16-bit Piezo Resistive Sensor Signal Interface IC primarily intended for MEMS based pressure sensor modules.  

The device uses a ratiometric AD-converter principle employing a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) conversion technique, giving very good noise performance. Its current consumption is extremely low (2.3 μA) and it can operate at low supply voltage from 2.0 V to 3.6 V which makes it an ideal solution for interfacing a piezo-resistive sensor in power consumption critical portable applications. The effective … Read More → "Micro Analog Systems releases Low Power Piezo Resistive Sensor Signal Interface IC"

Stamp Sized Module Shortens Time to Market

This new module – named Stamp for its small size and similarity with a postal stamp – includes everything needed for the intelligent control of a networked final product. Compared to a custom design using the IC, the typical customer PCB will be simplified and less costly since the main routing, especially the part requiring high density, multilayer technology and attention to EMC issues has been taken care of. Perhaps even more important is that any necessary changes to this part, needed for ensuring a long commercial life of the customer product – e.g. design changes motivated … Read More → "Stamp Sized Module Shortens Time to Market"
