Welcome to the September Analog Dialogue.
A stable system supply protects systems or loads from potential malfunction or, worse, being damaged. Different window voltage supervisor architectures provide options for tolerance, undervoltage and overvoltage threshold settings, and output configurations to enable design flexibility for different applications. In this month’s feature, “Optimize Your System Design with the Right Window Voltage Supervisor,” we aim to help engineers and system designers identify the most suitable window voltage supervisor for their application using different architecture examples.
Our next article briefly describes some of the important metrics used to improve battery efficiency and guide on key considerations when selecting battery management systems for these applications. “Unlocking Efficiency: How ADI Battery Management Solutions Empower Safer, Smarter Mobile Robots” covers the rapidly evolving landscape of automated warehouses and manufacturing facilities, where meticulous control over each component of the process is paramount.
The article “Enhancing Vision Sensor Capabilities: A 3D Image Stitching Algorithm for Expanded Field of View” is next in this month’s feature. This article discusses a 3D image stitching algorithm designed for a supporting host processor, eliminating the need for cloud computation. This algorithm seamlessly combines IR and depth data from multiple TOF cameras in real time, producing a continuous, high quality 3D image with an expanded field of view beyond standalone units.
IO-Link is a 24 V, 3-wire industrial communications standard that enables point-to-point communication between industrial devices. For this month’s RAQ, “How Using an IO-Link® Transceiver to Manage the Data Link Simplifies Microcontroller Selection,” we address how IO-Link device microcontrollers overcome the challenges associated with adhering to the timing requirements specified in the IO-Link standard.
Dive into the world of envelope detection with our latest StudentZone article, “ADALM2000 Activity: Envelope Detector.” The objective of this lab activity is to introduce envelope detection and amplitude modulation. The signal’s envelope is equivalent to its outline, and an envelope detector connects all the peaks in this signal. Envelope detection has numerous applications in the fields of signal processing and communications, one of which is amplitude modulation (AM) detection.
And as we have for over 58 years, we invite you to be part of the dialogue in Analog Dialogue. You can get in touch through our blog, Facebook page, or email. Let us know how we’re doing and what you’d like to see from us in the coming months.
