For over 20 years, Rochester Electronics has partnered with Analog Devices to provide extended support for their full range of active and obsolete devices.
Analog Devices specialises in designing and manufacturing mixed signal analog, and DSP integrated circuits for many long-lifecycle applications. One of their core technological focuses is the signal chain segment, which bridges the analog domain of the real world with the digital domain of the processing world. Common products include sensors, amplifiers, data converters, multiplexers, switches, specialised signal conditioners, isolators, and filters.
The signal chain starts and ends with inputs and outputs (I/Os) connecting to the outside world. Analog Devices offers standard and specialised amplifiers that either boost low-level inputs from specialised sensors or provide output amplification. RF/Wireless connections are also standard for offered amplifiers, modulators, mixers, VCOs, and similar components.
To manage these devices and connections, designers can take advantage of a wide range of analog multiplexers and switches to select and control the desired signal path. Combined with isolators and filters, these help protect and optimise the design.
At the centre of the signal chain are data converters. This is where the true bridging between the analog and digital realms occurs. Analog Devices has decades of experience developing analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The products cover a full range of attributes and provide solutions for high-performance converters in high-speed and RF applications, as well as integrated multi-channel converters in low-power and low-cost applications.
Further supporting the signal chain, Analog Devices is well known for its portfolio of digital signal processors (DSPs), such as the SHARC and Blackfin families. These devices are essential to many data processing and system analysis solutions.
Rochester has over 120 million units (18,000-part number options) of Analog Devices’ signal chain inventory and over 500,000 units of DSPs in stock. All inventory is 100% authorised, guaranteed, and ready to ship.
