Mixed Signal JTAG

I’ve recently seen a standard product offering that allows you to monitor analog voltages via a JTAG 1149.1 interface. This device allows you to read analog voltage levels as digital signals over a standard JTAG interface. The device supports 8 0-5.5V voltages inputs that are multiplexed to a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ADC and then [...]

Smart Sensor Interface

Sensing to Information is the job of a Smart Sensor. Instead of acquiring analog data from a sensor and then routing it in its native analog form to some centralized data acquisition system and central processor, Smart Sensing is about converting analog sensor readings into intelligent infromation as close to the sensor as possible. This [...]
