October 22, 2014 by Power Pulse1595211359

Analog Devices, Inc. will share innovative solutions in series of focused demonstrations at Electronica 2014 from 11-14 November at their Analog to Anywhere Technology Pavilion in Hall A4, Booth 159. ADI will spotlight a diverse portfolio of solutions that deliver performance and expertise to help customers anticipate and solve their toughest design challenges. These solutions will help customers capitalize on opportunities in today's sensor-laden, interconnected world, speeding development time and allowing them to go anywhere their design vision takes them.

ADI will present five separate tracks that are all linking to game-changing trends from the industry and from society. Each track illustrates an Analog to Anywhere customer journey: Track 1: Analog to Advanced Efficiency will focus on Develop more energy-efficient systems and solutions with Analog Devices mixed signal products and isolation technology. Demonstrations will include:

Efficiency in Motor Control Systems: This demonstration showcases motors being synchronized to perform dependent and independent operations in a platform (synchronized system build; ADSP-CM40x). It also showcases use of advancement in control theory (model based design) to optimize shaft control. The motion platform is connected via real time Ethernet – allowing each node to be connected and act as an intelligent node in the system.

High-Accuracy Battery Test with Energy Recycling: This demonstration shows a battery formation/testing system built around the AD8450 and AD1972 featuring very high accuracy and power efficiency, and allowing for lower system cost. It seamlessly transitions between constant voltage and constant current control. The system can help reduce the overall cost of manufacturing HEV/EV and energy storage batteries: energy recycling, high power efficiency, lower system cost.

Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensor Nodes: The Energy Harvesting demonstration based on the ADP5090 will show life harvesting from different energy sources: photovoltaic cells (PV) as well as thermo electric generators (TEG). Different parameters of the harvesting process such as current and voltage will be displayed on a screen. The energy source such as light on the solar cell and temperature difference on the TEG can be varied.

Other tracks will include: Analog to Always Connected: ADI brings connectivity, reliability and ingenuity to cellular and microwave communications infrastructure, industrial instrumentation, automotive and aerospace & defense applications. Analog to A Higher Standard: Design with less risk, and achieve optimal performance, with solutions tested and guaranteed for multiple safety, security and reliability standards. Analog to Automated: Increase system productivity and uptime with integrated diagnostics and functional safety innovations. And Analog to Advantage: Take advantage of today’s always-connected, sensor-laden, data-driven world by converting physical to digital to anything you imagine.
