Functional Safety of 4/20mA Networks
Tom-M
In my first blog of 2021, I will go back to a purely technical topic and discuss the functional safety of 4/20mA networks. I often make use of 4/20mA examples to explore functional safety questions due to their simplicity and the fact that...

How Functionally Safe Am I?
Tom-M
After a year of functional safety blogs, this is my last one of the year. It is a Christmas blog if you like. Similar to last Christmas this blog has a somewhat tenuous connection to functional safety but there is a connection. I like to imagine myse...

Radio Goes Back to Future
davidkruh
When Lee de Forest invented the first electronic amplifier tube (the Audion) in 1906 the iconic inventor gave us the foundational invention needed to kick-start the development of long-distance telephone, radio, radar, and the first computers. Since ...

The Triumph of Bureaucracy in Safety Management
Tom-M
Several blogs ago, I devoted a blog to a review of the book, Digital Woes: Why We Should Not Depend On Software. This blog is also a book review, but the book, Paper Safe: The Triumph of Bureaucracy in Safety Management, is much more recent...

The Power to Reduce
davidkruh
Today I will be writing about the ADRF5740 attenuator, one of the newest solutions from Analog Devices designed for 10 MHz to 60 GHz communication systems. The ADRF5740 does what its name suggests, it attenuates – lowers - the strength of incom...

What's so Tough About Functional Safety?
JonathanL
A while back (actually a long while back), when we were planning a new family of ultra-low power, high performance industrial DAC’s, we surveyed our customer base and one reoccurring theme we heard was “how can you make Functional Safety ...

Are All Random Failures Systematic?
Tom-M
Failure of a system can result from deliberate or non-deliberate means. The deliberate means are handled by our cyber security colleagues and functional safety is generally more concerned with failures caused by non-deliberate random and systematic f...

Where There’s Smoke, There is Analog Devices
davidkruh
The following scenario was recently presented to me: A sleepy father finally gets his fussy baby to sleep when a smoke detector, possibly sensing steam from an over-heated bottle of formula, blares a needless, high-pitched alarm. The baby – and...

Protecting Your Biggest Investments
davidkruh
Economies of Scale is so easy to understand even those of us who have trouble balancing a checkbook can grasp the concept. Increasing output can lower the cost of production, thereby increasing profits and lowering the price of goods to the consumer....

The Verdict's In: Verilog is Software?
Tom-M
Verilog is an HDL (hardware description language). The other common HDL is VHDL. These languages are used to design and verify digital circuits. The topic of today’s talk is to explore whether these HDL are software in the sense of IEC 61508-3,...

Not Your Father's Farm
davidkruh
Eager to increase the yields of their crops and improve margins on their business, farmers have embraced tech. One example is the GPS-guided tractor or harvester. There’s even a new term for this trend - Precision Agriculture. You’re not...

Security: Where Data is Born
EHalthen
Where the data is born. Have you heard that phrase before? Coined right here in our cyber security organization, it evokes imagery of tiny 1s and 0s nestled in cribs. Ok, illustrative metaphors aside, it really does perfectly explain ADI’s posi...

Lockdown as a Catalyst for Building Technology Innovation
GrainneM
2020 and the lockdown restrictions due to COVID-19 has made me think a lot more about my personal safety. I have watched closely how technology has reacted to safety needs. I’ve seen examples of innovation being pivoted quickly to healthcare ne...

CMOS TOF - 3D As Easy As 1-2-3
ADIApproved
The path of the photograph as we know it today began a thousand years ago when Iraqi scientist Abu Ali Al-Hasan Ibn al-Haytham built a device, later known as a camera obscura, which projected images onto a wall. It wasn’t until the late 1830s w...
