Amplifier & Linear Tools

Design Tools

• Noise Tool

  The Noise tool is a web-based tool designed to build, simulate, and verify complex precision signal chains. Perform AC and noise analysis to find out transfer function, noise contribution of individual components, SNR, and ENOB within seconds. Advanced modeling of ADI components in the signal chain provides lab-quality results to meet your design requirements and enables rapid virtual verification. Complete signal chains can be exported to LTspice for further analysis.

• 1-Wire Calculator ZIP

  This tool aides in determining the proper pullup resistor size for a 1-Wire system by taking into consideration the system’s supply voltage, tolerance, along with parameters for both the host and target.

• ADI DiffAmpCalc™

  ADI's new ADI DiffAmpCalc™ is a free, downloadable calculator for designing differential amplifier circuits. The tool is easy to use and features an interactive user interface to quickly get you up and running.

• ADI Precision Studio

  A suite of web tools to help you design signal conditioning circuits faster: Analog Filter Wizard, Precision ADC Driver Tool, Photodiode Wizard, In Amp Diamond Plot, Direct Digital Synthesis Simulator, and Virtual Eval ADC simulator.

• In-Amp Diamond Plot Tool

  The Diamond Plot Tool is a web application that generates a configuration-specific Output Voltage Range vs. Input Common-Mode Voltage graph, also known as the Diamond Plot, for Analog Devices Instrumentation Amplifiers. Based on user inputs such as supply voltage, gain, and input signal range, the tool detects saturation and recommends in-amps for which the input signal is in-range and the configuration is valid. Avoid saturation, find the best in-amp for your design, and save time.

• In-Amp Error Calculator

  These tools will help estimate error contributions in your instrumentation amplifier circuit. It uses input parameters such as temperature, gain, voltage input, and source impedance to determine the errors that can contribute to your overall design.

• OpAmp Error Budget Calculator

  An online tool to illustrate range, gain and accuracy issues with Op Amp.

• Analog Filter Wizard

  Use the Analog Filter Wizard to design low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters with actual op amps in minutes. As you progress through the design process, you can observe the characteristics of your filter design from ideal specifications to real world circuit behavior. Quickly evaluate the tradeoffs in op amp specifications - including gain-bandwidth, noise, and supply current – to determine the best filter design for your requirements.

• Analog Photodiode Wizard

  Use Photodiode Wizard to design a transimpedance amplifier circuit to interface with a photodiode. Select a photodiode from the library included in the tool, or enter custom photodiode specifications. Quickly observe tradeoffs between Bandwidth, Peaking (Q), and ENOB/SNR. Modify circuit parameters, and immediately see results in plots for pulse response, frequency response, and noise gain.

• Power Dissipation vs Die Temp

  This tool estimates die temperature and power dissipation based on the supply voltages, ambient temperature, load characteristics, and package thermal data.
