Application:
Bioelectric Amplifiers used in EEG, ECG, and EMG applications to amplify and digitize multi-channel electrodes to monitor brain, heart, and muscle activity.
Bioelectric amplifiers are used in EEG, ECG, and EMG applications like those shown Figure 1. These systems are used to measure electrical signals from the brain (EEG), heart (ECG/EKG), and muscles in general [...]
Convert your FPGA and discrete analog design into a low cost, high performance via configurable ASIC.
Migrating your mixed signal design to a Triad VCA means:
Reduced cost
Lower power
Better integration
Improved reliability
IP Protection
If you thought that you could not afford a mixed signal ASIC then please consider the Triad advantage:
Industry’s lowest NRE for mixed signal ASICs
Accelerated development cycle [...]
Designing a Sigma Delta A/D Converter as Soft-IP
Sigma delta A/D converters (ΣΔ-ADC) combine over sampling analog sigma delta modulators with digital decimation filters to achieve high precision and cost effective A/D conversion solutions. ΣΔ-ADCs are used to implement high-precision, low-power A/D converters for applications such as sensor interfaces and audio processing. Until recently a delta [...]
1 Video Color Space Converter
Video color space converters are mixed signal circuits that convert video signals from one color space such as RGB to another color space such as YCrCb utilizing high speed digital logic, ADCs, and DACs.
This application note provides a brief overview of color space conversion and the development of a single chip [...]
