Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) announces a collaboration with Elgama-Elektronika, a Lithuania-based manufacturer of static electricity meters. Elgama will design electricity meters enabled by ADI’s mSure® diagnostics technology to help utilities remotely monitor accuracy of meters in the field. This allows meters to have greater useful life while reducing overall costs of meter sample testing. In addition, meter tampering accounts for 10 percent of stolen energy worldwide – a nearly $100 billion revenue loss for utilities in Europe alone and ADI’s mSure technology can provide actionable intelligence to identify many different types of meter tampers. Elgama plans to bring these meters to market by the end of 2020.

“Intelligence based on the direct measurement of electric meter health will help utilities make quick and confident decisions by identifying out-of-specification meters, detecting meter malfunction, and confirming and quantifying more tamper events. mSure is a promising solution towards achieving these goals and optimising meter re-verification costs,” said Dr. Nerijus Kruopis, Chief Technology Officer, Elgama-Elektronika. “ADI has rich expertise here and they understand our challenges. In-field accuracy verification is costlier and inconvenient to customers. An mSure-enabled meter checks the accuracy of the entire metrology function, while in the field and in full operation, leading to direct cost savings and customer service improvements. We have eagerly begun having technical conversations with several utilities in our market to help facilitate the implementation of mSure technology as a standard practice for ensuring greater meter accuracy.”

Currently, when managing meter assets over their deployed lifetime, utilities check meters in the field on a case-by-case basis, replacing good meters based on age rather than need and investigating false tamper alerts. mSure, when combined with an analytics service, directly monitors meter accuracy and reports data back on individual meter health, helping to identify both malfunctioning meters and more electricity tamper cases. Raw data generated by mSure-enabled meters is provided to and processed by a cloud-based analytics service, allowing utilities to run reports on their entire meter population at desired intervals.

“We are excited to see companies like Elgama adopting our meter health technology to meet the needs of their utility customers. mSure enables utilities to both monitor meter accuracy with specificity to the individual meter and allow better protection against revenue loss through advanced meter tamper detection,” said Vitaly Goltsberg, Director of the Energy business unit at Analog Devices. “Analog Devices’ edge-to-cloud meter analytics solution gives electrical utilities actionable intelligence to decrease operational expenses and capital spending, reduce risk, protect revenue, and enhance trust in their brand.”

Dr. Nerijus Kruopis will join ADI at booth #Q130 at European Utility Week, Nov. 12 – 14, 2019 at Porte de Versailles in Paris, France.

Analog Devices Launches Isolation Technology to Maximize Power Efficiency and Minimize Emissions as Factories Migrate to Industry 4.0

NORWOOD, Mass. – Analog Devices, Inc., an Industry 4.0 technology leader, today announced a simple power solution that maximizes efficiency and minimizes electromagnetic (EM) emissions of motion systems as customers migrate to higher density automation. The ADuM4122, an isolated, dual-drive strength output driver that uses iCoupler® technology, empowers designers to harness the benefits of higher efficiency power switch technologies.

Electric motor-driven systems account for 40% of global electricity consumption, according to the International Energy Agency, and improvements in motor efficiency can have wide-reaching economic and environmental benefits. With the increased adoption of industrial automation and IoT within smart factories, there is a growing demand for intelligent technology and features within systems to ensure maximum efficiency. The ADuM4122 is the first simple solution that accomplishes this by controlling how fast or slow a MOSFET or IGBT turns on or off by user command, on the fly, thereby controlling motor currents.

“Flexibility and efficiency are two key tenets of a secure, connected enterprise. Previously, the typical solution was to choose a gate driver strength that would enable adherence to EM system regulations at all operating points, meaning systems were often over-engineered and under-utilized,” said Mack Lund, Director of Interface and Isolation Technology Group at Analog Devices. “Now, users can dynamically move from a slower to a faster switching transition, thus optimizing EM emissions without sacrificing efficiency. In short, you no longer have to leave performance on the table when trying to achieve lower emissions and power consumption.”

The new ADuM4122 is a simple dual-drive strength output driver that efficiently toggles between two slew rates controlled by a digital signal. Smaller than existing discrete or complex integrated solutions that have 20 or more pins, the ADuM4122 features only eight pins and works in a variety of operating conditions.

European Utility Week 2019 (Paris, 12–14 November) is the meeting point for key players in the Smart Energy sector, where the latest developments in the transition to a fully integrated, low-carbon energy ecosystem will be revealed and discussed.

Analog Devices (ADI), on stand Q130 in the Utility Week Exhibition, will showcase the special expertise its technologies can contribute in areas such as smart metering, power quality analysis, and energy storage.

Global issues of climate change, carbon dioxide emissions, and pollution, set against an ever-growing demand for energy, are rarely out of the news: the need to migrate to a low-carbon, intelligent energy infrastructure is pressing. Operating a truly “smart” energy grid will require new capabilities in measurement, monitoring and control at all scales, bridging the analogue world of the power grid itself and the digital domain of analysis and control – a key interface where ADI can offer an unrivalled wealth of experience.

ADI Energy Analytics Studio; Maximising the potential of the Smart Meter

A demonstration on the stand will feature Analog Devices' cloud-based analytics service receiving periodic meter health data from mSure® enabled meters. The meters are based on an energy metering IC with mSure technology and licensed firmware to efficiently pack the data for network transmission. The analytics service monitors the accuracy of the meters, analyses drift, and predicts when meters will become out-of-spec enabling utilities to better plan meter asset replacement. In addition, the analytics service continuously detects meter tampering allowing utilities to prioritize investigations and protect revenue from electricity theft.

By combining cloud-based analytics with edge-based sensing and processing, the company delivers a powerful solution for electricity utilities to protect revenue and manage equipment cost-effectively.

Waveform analysis for power quality monitoring

A further demonstration highlights the issue of power quality and harmonic content. Renewable sources on the generation side of the network, and complex loads on the consuming side, can lead to high level of reactive loading and harmonic waveform content, both being inefficient and even hazardous to the infrastructure. Analog Devices’ fundamental capabilities, developed over decades, in the area of signal capture, analogue-to-digital conversion, and signal analysis, are an exact match for this problem. The demonstration is based around a high-integration multi-phase energy/power quality measurement IC that combines A/D conversion, digital signal processing and waveform buffering. Using the latter feature, the demonstration will show extraction of resampled waveform data plus basic harmonic analysis based on one line cycle of data for both the current and voltage channels, requiring only an Arduino Due card as a host and development platform.

Ecosystems for battery-based energy storage

As the balance of generation shifts towards renewable sources, energy storage assumes ever-greater importance. A series of demonstrations will feature the work of industrial partner companies who have selected Analog Devices technology to optimise battery-based designs. The semiconductor manufacturer offers a range of solutions that enable precise monitoring and control of battery systems from the individual cell level, up to the system level. Partners participating in this exhibit include Stercom Power Solutions, showing state of the art battery management systems, tailored for battery energy storage systems (ESS). The ESS specialist will also showcase a full set of products for energy storage and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, implementing ADI’s latest technology on isolated gate driver and power management ICs.

European Utility Week 2019 takes place from 12-14 November 2019, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris, France. (Event details here.)

The LT8642S dramatically reduces EMI emissions as a result of its controlled switching edges and its internal construction using copper pillars in lieu of bond wires and an integral ground plane. This improved EMI performance is not sensitive to PCB layout, simplifying design and reducing risk even when using two-layer PC boards. The LT8642S easily passes the automotive CISPR 25, Class 5 peak EMI limits with a 2MHz switching frequency over its entire load range. Spread spectrum frequency modulation is available to lower EMI levels further.

The LT8642S’s synchronous rectification delivers efficiency as high as 95% with a switching frequency of 2MHz. Its 2.8V to 18V input voltage range ideal for automotive and industrial applications. The internal high efficiency switches deliver up to 10A of continuous output current to voltages as low as 0.60V. The LT8642S’s Burst Mode^® operation ensures only 240µA of quiescent current. An external compensation pin enables fast transient response and current sharing for paralleling multiple devices. A fast minimum on-time of only 25ns enables 2MHz constant frequency switching from a 12V input to a 0.6V output. The LT8642S’s 24-lead 4mm x 4mm LQFN package and high switching frequency keeps external inductors and capacitors small, providing a compact, thermally efficient footprint.

The LT8642S utilizes internal top and bottom high efficiency power switches with the necessary boost diode, oscillator, control and logic circuitry integrated into a single die. Low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keeping output ripple below 10mV_P-P. For applications requiring the lowest noise operation, the LT8642S can be programmed to run in forced continuous mode over the entire load range. Its switching frequency is programmable and synchronizable from 200kHz to 3MHz. Special design techniques and a new high speed process enable high efficiency over a wide input voltage range, and the LT8642S current mode topology enables fast transient response and excellent loop stability. Other features include a power good flag, output soft-start/tracking and thermal protection.

The LT8642SEV is packaged in a 4mm x 4mm LQFN package. An industrial temperature version, the LT8642SIV, is tested and guaranteed to operate from a

Analog Devices’ (ADI) presence at European Microwave Week 2019 (Paris, September 29 – October 4, stand 590/585) will showcase the company’s comprehensive system-level capabilities that cover the entire RF and microwave spectrum.

The event takes place at a time of intense design activity in the RF/MW sector. 5G communications are in early deployment, even as the relevant standards are still being finalised. Transportation systems such as autonomous vehicles are calling for high-bandwidth, low-latency data links. The requirements of defence and aerospace are as demanding as ever: and instrumentation to develop the solutions must stay “ahead of the game”. In all these areas, ADI stands ready to aid customers in achieving their system design objectives.

A range of technology demonstrations, some featuring products and technologies not previously exhibited in Europe, will reaffirm ADI’s ability to support integration of its leading-edge semiconductor devices into RF, microwave and millimetre-wave applications and system-level solutions.  Analog Devices experts will also present a number of focussed papers on specific design challenges at EuMW 2019.

Phased array prototyping

A recent introduction from ADI, intended to support system-level design in a broad range of RF applications, is a customisable system-on-module (SOM) that combines multiple highly configurable, wideband RF transceivers with powerful ARM A53 based digital processing cores and FPGA. The scalable modules are production-ready to simplify the path from development to deployment. In the demonstration the SOMs are shown applied to phased array prototyping. Wideband, 200MHz coherent channels characterise incoming RF energy to either geolocate the emitter or to maximise the carrier-to-interference ratio. Multiple modules (ADRV9009-ZU11EG) can be synchronised at the RF level in a PCIe backplane for massive MIMO (nxn) system prototyping.

mmW frequency synthesis

State-of-the-art frequency generation that is precise, low-noise and wideband is a fundamental building block in almost every system architecture. A demonstration on the ADI stand will showcase the company’s latest generation of wideband frequency synthesisers and tunable filters for millimeter-wave systems such as 5G and phased array radar. Unrivalled phase noise and frequency coverage come with small form factor and exceptionally low spurs to optimize applications.

Multi-Channel, Mixed-Signal RF Converter Platform

This demonstration illustrates how ADI stands ready to support system-level designers in the communications, defense, and instrumentation markets by providing a truly software configurable multi-channel radio front end.

The mixed-signal front-end (MxFE™) RF data converter platform featured in this demonstration combines high-performance analog and digital signal processing for a range of applications such as 4G LTE and 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) radios, Phased Array Radar, Electronic Warfare systems, Electronic test and measurement systems, and DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS.

The AD9081 and AD9082 MxFE devices integrate eight and six RF data converters, respectively. The RF DACs are 16-bit 12GSPS DACs, and the ADCs are 12-bit 6GSPS on the AD9082 and 12-bit 4GSPS on the AD9081. The devices also integrate an on-chip clock multiplier, performance and power optimized digital signal processing DSP capability, and a JESD204C high speed SERDES interface capable of transmitting and received data at up to 24.75 Gbps per lane. Wide analog input bandwidth of about 7GHz on the RF ADCs enable direct sampling up to C-band frequencies.

Signal generator on a chip

ADI has long been a pioneer in the field of direct-to-RF systems, applying its semiconductor technology to wideband signal generation. A demonstration looks, in particular, to applications in sectors such as instrumentation and aerospace/defence. High levels of integration are once again the key to simplifying system-level architectures. The demonstration features a new direct to RF transmit subsystem. The complete vector signal generator on a chip eliminates costly costly baluns and interface challenges by providing a 50 Ohm single ended DC-coupled output.

The device can be configured to provide 2 to 8 independent regulated outputs with 15 possible output current configurations. Such flexibility makes the LTC3374A ideally suited for a wide variety of multichannel applications, including industrial, automotive and communications systems. The LTC3374A has a peak efficiency of 94%, one output with ±1% voltage accuracy and up to seven additional outputs with ±2% accuracy. A power good function indicates that the output is in regulation with ±1% accuracy and provides overvoltage indication. A temperature monitor with ±3°C accuracy is also included.

The LTC3374A features eight independent 1A channels with flexible sequencing and fault monitoring. Each channel is a high efficiency synchronous step-down regulator with its own independent 2.25V to 5.5V input supply and an output voltage range of 0.8V to VIN. Up to 4 adjacent buck regulators can be combined in parallel to provide up to 4A of output current with a single shared inductor by connecting their VIN pins together, their SW pins together, and by connecting the slave bucks’ FB pin(s) to the input supply. In this way, 15 different output configurations are possible.

The LTC3374A's switching regulators operate in one of two modes: Burst Mode® operation (power-up default mode) for higher efficiency at light loads, and forced continuous pulse width modulation (PWM) mode for lower noise at light loads. All of the switching regulators are internally compensated and need only external feedback resistors to set the output voltage. The bucks have input current limiting, soft-start to limit inrush current during start-up, and short-circuit protection. The device has a programmable and synchronizable 1MHz to 3MHz oscillator with a 2MHz default switching frequency. The quiescent current with all DC/DCs off is zero. Other features include a die temperature monitor output (readable via an analog voltage on the TEMP pin) which indicates internal die temperature, and an over-temperature (OT) function, which disables the bucks at high die temperatures.

The LTC3374A is available in a thermally enhanced, low profile (0.75mm), 38-pin TSSOP and 5mm x 7mm QFN packages.

MILPITAS, CA – September 28, 2016 – Linear Technology introduces the LTC5596, a high frequency, wideband and high dynamic range RMS power detector that provides accurate, true power measurement of RF and microwave signals independent of modulation and waveforms. The LTC5596 responds in an easy to use log-linear 29mV/dB scale to signal levels from

–37dBm to –2dBm, at accuracy better than ±1dB error over the full operating temperature range and RF frequency range, from 200MHz to an unprecedented 30GHz. In addition, the device’s response has ±1dB flatness within this frequency range. A wider frequency range can be used, from 100MHz to 40GHz, however with slightly reduced accuracy at the frequency extremes. Its RF input is internally 50Ω matched from 100MHz to 40GHz, making the device very easy to use at any band within its useful frequency range.

Modern 4G and 5G broadband communications systems employ high order, multi-tone OFDM modulation to attain higher desired data rates. Traditionally, microwave Schottky diodes are used as the detector element. They face serious shortcomings when rectifying the RF or microwave signals while measuring only the peak of the waveform, which grossly misrepresents the real power of the signal. In contrast, RMS detectors perform an analog root-mean-square computation of the waveform, then average the result to derive a true power representation of the input signal, regardless of its modulation, number of carriers and varying amplitudes. This capability to measure the true power is critical for equipment manufacturers to set the proper transmit power, ensuring the maximum transmission distance and thus improves TX range while remaining compliant with regulatory power limits.

The LTC5596’s extraordinarily wide bandwidth allows the detector to work seamlessly across multiple frequency bands using a common design with minimum calibration. For example, the LTC5596 works equally well in a sub-10GHz backhaul microwave link as with a 28GHz version. A single design with no recalibration has the potential to provide significant cost savings to equipment manufacturers. Moreover, the LTC5596’s wide frequency range and improved sensitivity enables use in a wide variety of applications such as radar systems, avionics, wireless infrastructure base stations, satellite communications and test instrumentation.

The LTC5596 operates from a single 3.3V supply, drawing a nominal supply current of 30mA. The detector has built-in improved ESD protection. All pins are capable of withstanding up to 3,500V discharge, human body model. Two temperature grades are available. An I grade is designed for operation from –40°C to 105°C case. For applications subject to extraordinarily high temperature operating environments such as in high power RF power amplifiers, a high temperature H-grade is offered with rated temperature from –40°C to 125°C case. The H-grade is 100% tested over temperature, and is guaranteed to have tight tolerance on its slope and intercept point, reducing part-to-part variations. Both temperature versions are available in a 2mm x 2mm plastic 8-lead DFN package.

The LTC5596 I grade is priced starting at $12.50 each in 1,000-pieces quantities, while the H grade starts at $16.95 each. Both versions are now available in production quantities. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTC5596.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has announced a state-of-the-art synthesizer consisting of a phase-locked loop (PLL) with fully integrated voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) as well as integrated low dropout regulators (LDOs) and integrated tracking filter technology. The new ADF4371 supports RF/microwave system designs that must meet the most exacting next-generation requirements across multiple markets, including aerospace and defense, test/measurement, communications infrastructure, as well as high-speed converter clocking.

• View the ADF4371 product page, download data sheet, order samples and evaluation boards: http://www.analog.com/adf4371

Designed utilizing ADI’s 25 years of leading RF and microwave synthesizer expertise, the ADF4371 is the highest frequency synthesizer on the market today and offers the widest continuous RF output range of 62MHz to 32GHz.  Together with ultra-low PLL FOM

(-234dBc/Hz), ultra-low spurious (-100dBc typ.), low VCO phase noise (-134dBc/Hz @1MHz offset at 8GHz), and with built-in tracking filter technology, this device leads the way for performance and adaptability. Its feature-rich, highly configurable architecture means that designers can now choose a single, ultra-compact, synthesizer solution to cover almost any LO/clock requirement within these frequency ranges, thereby reducing development costs, risk and time to market.  

The ADF4371 facilitates implementation of high resolution (39-bit) fractional-N or integer-N PLL frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference source. The wideband microwave VCO design allows frequencies from 62.5 MHz to 32 GHz to be generated. The device features the industry’s lowest jitter (36fs at 10 GHz) and reference spurious (-100dBc typ.), together with operation to 105℃ without loss of lock.

For applications requiring very small compact footprints, the ADF4371 supports integrated power supply decoupling, integrated LDOs and integrated harmonic tracking filters. The tracking filter technology facilitates at least 30dB harmonic and sub-harmonic rejection across the entire VCO range. This hugely reduces the total solution footprint, particularly in the case where fixed range filters are required to meet these rejections across octave bandwidths. For applications that do not require the full frequency range capability of the ADF4371 (up to 32GHz), ADI also offers the ADF4372 with operation up to 16GHz.

ADF4371 Product Features:

• Ultra-low FOM (Normalized Phase Noise Floor):  -234dBc/Hz
• High Phase Frequency Detection (PFD) capability up to 250MHz
• Lowest integrated phase noise (jitter) < 36fs @ 10GHz
• Lowest reference spurs <100dBc typical
• Integer boundary spurs (-90dBc @ 960kHz offset from integer channel)
• Integrated harmonic filters

The ADF4371 and ADF4372 are supported within ADI’s popular ADIsimPLL™ circuit design and evaluation tool that assists users in evaluating, designing and troubleshooting RF and microwave systems. Learn more at: http://www.analog.com/adisimpll

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) have introduced a highly integrated, active antenna beamforming chip that allows designers to quickly replace bulky, mechanically steered antenna platforms with a compact, solid-state solution for phased array radar and communications systems. The ADAR1000 chip simplifies design and significantly reduces the size, weight and power of phased array radar systems for defense, surveillance, air traffic control, communications and weather monitoring. For avionics designers, the ADAR1000 enables flat-panel antenna arrays, which shrinks the profile of conventional radar systems and facilitates the design of smaller, lighter aircraft. The new ADAR1000 is a plug-and-play chip that allows designers with little or no RF experience to extend the performance and operating lifetime of their radar systems.

The 4-channel ADAR1000 active antenna beamforming chip replaces 12 discrete components needed for antenna phase-gain adjustments and digital controls. The IC supports time division duplexing (TDD) across the X and Ku bands. It includes an integrated T/R switch than can be used to select the common port as an input for transmit (Tx) or an output for receive (Rx). The four pairs of Tx and Rx channels have independently programmable gain and phase settings. The ADAR1000 can be configured to directly control all aspects of external T/R module pulsing with minimal extra circuitry. All settings can be loaded into built-in memory for fast access to gain-phase states and T/R module settings. The ADAR1000 offers a scalable building block for fast implementation of active antenna phased arrays targeting next-generation radar and communications systems without the need for extensive third-party design support.

“ADI is combining the industry’s broadest RF portfolio with extensive design and packaging expertise to help customers quickly implement phased array antennas,” said John Cowles, general manager of Analog Devices’ RF and Microwave Business Unit. “Our new phased array offering is smaller, lighter, and as powerful as a typical phased array solution.
