In this webinar, we will reassess the design of electronics for Flow Cytometry applications.

In the past, 20-bit, 40 MSPS analog-to-digital converters were not available, "at any price," but with the release of the AD4080, a low noise, low power, 20-bit, 40 MSPS SAR ADC converter, a revolution is happening to Flow Cytometry electronics. The 94.6 dB dynamic range, ±4 ppm INL and integrated digital post-processing in the AD4080 offer the possibility to shorten signal chains and achieve cost savings at a system level with fewer gain stages. For increased density, the AD4880, dual-channel, 20-bit, 40 MSPS SAR ADC plus Analog Front End will be presented, a part that simplifies signal chain design and shortens time to market. The entire signal chain from sensor to bits will be shown, and tools that help the designer optimise their signal chain for noise will be introduced.

Attendees Will:

  • Learn how Flow Cytometry electronics is being reassessed with newly introduced precision signal chain technology.
  • Begin to appreciate why there is a new design paradigm to minimize gain with low-noise data converters.
  • Be aware of the tools available to the designer to optimize the signal chain for lowest noise and best SNR.
