These range from simulation environments, such as LTspice®, to design tools that delve into filter performance and power management, as well as signal chain-based evaluation systems that leverage decades of ADI experience and expertise. The platform's narrow-bandwidth precision signal chains feature selections of precision components and power management solutions that prioritize low-frequency design requirements, delivering excellent accuracy, stability, and resolution. These robust, repeatable, and high-quality measurement and drive solutions empower designers to confidently tackle the most demanding precision instrumentation challenges in areas such as source measurement units (SMUs), digital multimeters (DMMs), and data acquisition systems.
Examples of the narrow-bandwidth precision signal chain options provided with the platform include those that prioritize low latency and stability for measurement and control, or selections that optimize noise and stability for voltage drive. Low-latency and stable signal chains lead to faster, more reliable final measurements, ensuring that closed-loop system configurations can be reconfigured with minimal settling time and increased test-time efficiency. The noise and stability tuning creates voltage drive circuits that support highly accurate and extremely stable programmable voltage sources.
Key features of the precision narrow bandwidth:
- The 24-bit, lossless ADC performance maximizes resolution, delivering high accuracy across the entire signal chain with optimized gain tuning and minimal settling time
The flexibility to optimize noise-to-power performance with minimal latency implies the reuse of an optimal design and the ability to use the circuits for multiple use cases with simple software updates
- The measurement bandwidth from the direct current allows for stable and accurate closed-loop measurements across the entire low frequency range
