Capacitance and impedance convert to
digital
New high-precision fully integrated convertors address the complex and difficult signal processing challenges of direct capacitance-to-digital and impedance-to-digital conversion.
Analog Devices has developed the world's first high-precision, fully integrated convertors that address the complex and difficult signal processing challenges of direct capacitance-to-digital and impedance-to-digital conversion Combining advanced signal processing techniques with high levels of integration, ADI's capacitance-to-digital convertor (CDC) and impedance-to-digital convertor (IDC) devices attain a level of precision previously only possible with conventional analogue voltage-to-digital convertors aided by a significant number of discrete components
