Introduction To Signal Conditioning

The accuracy, repeatability and reliability of analog measurements are at the heart of every data acquisition or measurement and control system. Reliable data from sensors is critical to achieving desired system results, whether it’s product / process improvements, raw material optimization, improved quality or increased uptime. Analog Devices has been solving signal conditioning problems for over 30 years, and is at the forefront of analog signal processing technology.

The 3B, 5B, 6B and 7B Series of analog signal conditioning subsystems are optimized for harsh industrial environments where vibration, electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), ground loops, voltage transients and extreme temperature conditions are common. Signal conditioning eliminates all these factors and provides accurate and repeatable sensor measurements to a data acquisition or measurement and control system. Over 1,000,000 units are installed and working reliably in thousands of applications ranging from petrochemical process control to in-vehicle test to control of energy production equipment. Analog Devices offers complete solutions for conditioning low-level signals from sensors and transducers. These solutions offer high accuracy, high noise rejection and electrical isolation. We offer four signal conditioning families to meet your cost and performance targets.
