Smart Sensor Solution Smart Analog Renesas Electronics

What is Smart Analog? Enabling Next Generation Intelligent Sensors Smart Analog (SA) brings design flexibility, extensive reusability, multi-sensor control in embedded-sensing applications for industrial and process automation. The technology enables small footprint implementation while maintaining low system cost. Smart Analog products are available as SAICs (Smart configurable Analog Front End ICs) or as SAMCUs with integrated intelligence (Smart Analog Microcontrollers). Using the SA-Designer software GUI, configurable amplifier circuits can easily be tailored. Analog Front End circuits tuning...
