Whether it's wearable devices for consumers and healthcare solutions, advancements in instrumentation, or industrial automation, today's systems are expected to take up less space and consume less power without sacrificing performance or reliability. In "11 Experts in Miniaturized Electronics Design and Applications," engineers from ADI, Molex, and other companies discuss the many challenges designers face on their journey to system miniaturization. The ebook also highlights several products, available on Mouser, that both ADI and Molex offer to support this transition through advancements in integration, packaging, and interconnect design.
The EVAL-ADAQ4224-FMCZ evaluation board, available on Mouser, provides a demonstration and development platform for ADI's ADAQ4224 μModule® data acquisition (DAQ) system-in-package (SiP) solution. The ADAQ4224 DAQ integrates the essential passive components required for a data acquisition solution into a single component, utilizing ADI's iPassives® technology, which minimizes temperature-related sources of error and delivers optimized performance.
The EVAL-AD3530RARDZ evaluation board enables prototyping with ADI's AD3530 and AD3530R digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The AD3530 and AD3530R DACs include integrated multiplexers that facilitate monitoring of output voltages, currents, and internal chip temperature. The devices incorporate power-on reset (POR) circuitry that ensures up to 32 kΩ of output power to ground until a valid write operation is performed. The AD3530R also offers an internal 2.5 V, 5 ppm/°C reference, disabled by default.
Molex Quad-Row board-to-board connectors feature a staggered circuit arrangement and a low-profile design with a 0.175 mm pitch, saving 30% of space compared to conventional connectors. These patent-pending connectors offer product developers and device manufacturers greater freedom and flexibility to adapt to compact form factors, making them ideal for augmented reality/virtual reality, automotive, communications, IoT, and other space-constrained applications.
Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors are ideal for tight-pack applications, offering a compact overall size for maximum space savings along with guaranteed contact and easy operation. These connectors are available in pitch sizes from 0.20 to 2.00 mm, circuit sizes from 2 to 96, and with actuators including forward twist, reverse twist, slide, one-touch, and low insertion force, with right-angle or vertical orientation.
