Component building blocks

Functional blocks for selection; device connections and component values depend on your design.

FUNCTION / 01

Sensor signal conditioning

Condition low-level differential and sensor signals using instrumentation or zero-drift amplifiers. Check sensor bias, common-mode range and bandwidth.

FUNCTION / 02

Analog data acquisition

Digitize analog signals using the channel count, resolution, sample rate and interface recorded for each ADC.

FUNCTION / 03

Measurement reference

Provide a voltage reference for an analog measurement path; select the output voltage and accuracy for the converter design.

FUNCTION / 04

Auxiliary power rails

Generate local controller and analog rails with step-down conversion and LDO regulation. Match the input range and current to the rail.
