Renesas Electronics Announces the Development of Smart Analog – A Fully Configurable Analog Front-end Technology Enabling Smarter Sensors

Renesas Electronics, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced Smart Analog, a technology innovation that stands to have a radical effect on the way engineers implement sensors in embedded designs. Modern sensor devices are complex systems that require tuning of circuitry to convert the analog signals produced by the sensor itself into a signal appropriate for a microcontroller’s (MCU) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) subsystem. This iterative tuning process is time-consuming, adversely affecting time-to-market for most projects. The analog front end (AFE), an essential system building block to a sensor circuit, amplifies and/or filters sensor signals that are often weak, or its electrical configurations differ from the one used by the MCU. The AFE that performs this vital bridging function (…) Continua →
