Standard Analog and Mixed Signal

STANDARD ANALOG AND MIXED-SIGNAL

ZMDI offers a broad portfolio of standard products designed to make  environments as resource-, time- and component-efficient as possible.

• SENSOR SIGNAL CONDITIONING - A large number of energy efficient applications in the industrial, medical, consumer, and communication markets require highly precise sensor signal conditioning. The trend towards ever-smarter systems drives sensor use up in all of these applications. ZMDI’s portfolio of standard signal conditioning application specific standard products provides highly accurate amplification and temperature compensation of all kinds of sensor signals. ZMDI’s digital "one-pass" calibration allows the customer to calibrate only once, in the final system. This is more accurate and much less expensive than calibration during the production process of the sensor module.

Continuously increasing the level of energy efficiency, ZMDI’s sensor signal conditioning products are designed to reduce the waste of resources and enable efficient resource optimization. Today, perhaps in the form of a humidity sensor for efficient ink-print results; in the future as an intelligent battery re-charger module for cell phones, mobile equipment, and various consumer electronics to charge associated battery to an optimal point, then keeping the battery in idle mode or totally switch off charging energy. The possibilities are endless.

• IrDA - Today, the company is the world’s largest supplier of IrDA transceiver ICs, shipping tens of millions of units each year. IrDA applications today range from standard remote control and built-in IrDA modules in laptops and PDAs to mobile phone-based financial payments and recently to very fast transfers of MP3 and photo image files from digital cameras or high end mobile phones to printers or PCs. ZMDI’s IrDA technology offers data rates up to 16 Mbps with very low power consumption and very small size.

• AS-I - ZMDI is the leading maker of AS-I bus ICs for industrial automation, a direct extension of the company’s signal conditioning products. The AS-I bus interconnects actuators, sensors, displays and switches in a very efficient way – it allows for fast, simple, flexible and economic system setups. From component-level to system-level, ZMDI enjoys an excellent reputation for its quality customer support.

• Temperatur sensors - The company offers a family of low power, low-cost, very high-accuracy temperature sensor IC solutions, with accuracies as precise as 0.05 °C. These sensor ICs are widely used in energy efficient applications such as portable medical equipment as well as in asset tracking, drug development and process control.
