A new TechNote A2B performance with a custom power scheme is available on the Clockworks website. It covers both simulation and actual measurements of the components used, as well as looks at the LVDS signalling to see if the unique power arch...
For those with a subscription to AudioXpress magazine check out Part 1 of a two part article series about the new capability introduced by the AD2437 A2B transceiver.
Clockworks’ A2B Converter modules can be used to convert between the two power schemes and the three connector types found on Analog Device’s hardware. All modules galvanically isolate input to output, including power if the module suppor...
Clockworks has added a new AD2437 based module for developers looking for off the shelf solutions for developing, prototyping, and testing the latest generation of A2B devices.
As with the prior generation AD2428 modules, this AD2437 based one bring...
Clockworks has released a new TechNote that looks at the audio related effects of the AD2428's clock jitter. Previously the details of that jitter were examined and some effects were seen on a lower performance ADC and DAC system. In this n...
SigmaStudio includes an API that can be used by Windows COM/OLE and Pythons' win32com library can access that. While the ADI documents provide the API calls, there aren't any provided examples of the functions being used. It also turns ...
This app note illustrates how to use an off the shelf USB to I2S board from miniDSP along with Clockworks AB0108 module to provide 8 in/8out capability to an A2B network.

Clockworks has added a new AD2428 based A2B module for developers and OEMs looking to quickly add A2B to their system but can not use the standard Molex DuraClik style connector found on the evaluation boards. The board is available in two versions, ...
Clock jitter is the bane of any system that performs analog/digital conversion because measuring at the wrong point in time is the same as measuring the wrong level. The AD242x series of A2B parts retain a high jitter specification on the...
ADI's reference guide for A2B "AD241x, AD242x, Reference Schematics, Rev 2.1" provides the suggested schematics and key manufacturer's part numbers for creating your own design. While it involves just a handful of parts...
Background
Clockworks A2B to I2S breakout module allows developers to add capability to anything that supports I2S, I2C, or GPIO. This module is intended to be locally powered. This post looks at bus (phantom) power, along with a reminder about...
When creating A2B systems for developers and testing one of the immediate issues is getting enough cables of the correct length. Unfortunately ADI has not offered guidance on a preferred connector choice so production applications have no stand...
At the AES 2019 convention in New York City Clockworks showed the latest addition to its tools for A2B system developers, an 8 channel microphone array for prototyping speech and audio applications. Designed to be easy to modify for different ...
Analog Devices will have a demo room (2D03) and be presenting updates about A2B® at AES http://www.aesshow.com/ . Clockworks will be there to answer questions about the Clockworks A2B module and EVM, along with the new 8 channel microphone A2B ki...
We'll be there to run learn to solder sessions using Audio Builders Workshop metronome kits, talk about audio and resistors, and show off the SHARC Audio Module, A2B, and Clockworks' SignalBlox modular open source hardware for signal processi...
Hitting the test bench soon, this adapter board allows upcoming SignalBlox® modules like the A/D and D/A boards to be used to add more I/O to an A2B® system. Part of the release package will include support for use with the A2B in...
A2B® was developed for use in unshielded enclosures with unshielded cable in an environment where emissions are highly regulated by the automotive manufacturers to ensure that sensitive RF electronics are not unintentionally degraded by unintende...
Amid 500 drum sets joined by 1000 electric guitars, Clockworks Signal Processing set up a small demonstration area in the Analog Devices meeting room of the A2B® modules and EVM along with some prototype hardware of the SignalBlox® product li...
Systems built using Analog Devices' Automotive Audio Bus® (A2B), SHARC® Audio Module, and Clockworks SignalBlox® product line will almost certainly have analog inputs and/or outputs. Those interfaces need to deliver specific real worl...
