ANALOG DEVICES

Analog Devices Inc (ADI) was founded in 1965 by 2 students when they launched the model 101 op-amp, for use in test and measurement equipment. It became a publicly traded company in 1969. It now boasts regional headquarters, fabrication plants, testing facilities and design centres all over the world.

ADI’s product portfolio includes data converters (both ADCs and DACs), precision analog microcontrollers, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMs) and sensors. Their data converters make up over 50% of their revenue.

Their ADC and DAC ICs are used in systems where an accurate signal conversion is critical, such as medical systems, scientific instrumentation and radar.

Analog Devices micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensors tackle performance parameters including safety and reliability in healthcare and industrial applications. They are therefore used in a number of medical applications and security systems.

One of Ashlea Components’ largest OEMs is a leading designer and manufacturer of X-Ray equipment and we play a big part in the supply of Analog Device products to them.
