(ADI) introduced a precision medium-bandwidth signal chain platform, improving system performance for signal bandwidths from DC up to approximately 500 kHz for industrial and instrumentation applications.
The new platform offers a series of signal chains complete with customizable solution options and a curated set of development tools, such as LTspice simulations, to simplify the design journey.
These robust signal chains, designed for time and frequency measurement accuracy, enable end systems that can accept inputs from the widest range of sensors and measurement modalities, from IEPE vibration and acceleration to temperature and pressure.
Signal chains also support engineers in designing with confidence and tackling the most demanding precision instrumentation challenges in areas such as condition-based monitoring (CbM), large channel count or distributed data acquisition (DAQ) systems, control position and engine and sonar.

The signal chains included in the platform feature precision and power component selections that prioritize combined AC and DC precision design requirements, with options for single or multi-channel systems, as well as increased channel density for systems with higher channel counts.
Examples of precision mid-bandwidth signal chain options provided with the platform include those that enable AC precision scaling versus power for instrumentation, low latency options for motor control and position sensing, and higher density options using SIP uModule signal chain solutions or multichannel converters. Designers of systems with large numbers of channels can choose between signal chains where channel synchronization is a priority, whether in channel isolated or non-channel isolated systems.
Characteristics:
- Optimizing signal chain resolution and gain provides the required 16- to 24-bit accuracy, across the widest range of sensor bandwidths, for small and large amplitudes
- Flexibility to prioritize between noise performance, signal bandwidth, and power enables reuse of optimal layout and multiple circuit use cases with simple software updates
- Options for higher channel densities provide the ability to scale precision measurements for large distributed or centralized channel count scenarios
