Though increasingly widespread and user-friendly, touchscreen technology is still very much a specialty and therefore outsourced by equipment manufacturers. But outsourcing any electronic subassembly can be a slippery slope for OEMs, since the end product ultimately will have their brand name on it. Read the full article... focus on power |
In addition to staking claim as the industry's smallest, the
ADS5281, ADS5282, and ADS5287 eight-channel ADCs promise
power-consumption reductions in the realm of 30% over comparable
devices. At their highest sample rate of 65 Msamples/s, the trio
consumes as little as 77 mW per channel. With dynamic scaling at a 30
Msample/s rate, per-channel power consumption is as low as 48 mW.
