AFE1256256-channel analog front end (AFE) for flat-panel digital X-ray detectors | Data Acquisition | 1 | Active | The AFE1256 is a 256-channel, analog front-end (AFE) designed to suit the requirements of flat-panel detectors (FPDs) based on digital X-ray systems. The device includes 256 integrators, a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) for full-scale, charge-level selection, a correlated double sampler (CDS) with dual banking, 256:4 analog multiplexers, and four 16-bit, successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) onboard. Serial data from the ADCs are available in SPI™ format.
Hardware-selectable integration polarity allows for the integration of positive or negative charge and provides more flexibility in system design. The Nap feature enables substantial power saving. This power savings is especially useful in battery-powered systems.
The device is available as a 22-mm × 5-mm gold-bumped die and a 38-mm × 28-mm, COF-314 TDS package in singulated forms.

AFE3010Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with self-test and neutral-ground fault detection | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 1 | Obsolete | The AFE3010 is a precision, low-power, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) controller used for detecting ground fault leakage paths in electrical circuits. This device is a single IC solution that continuously monitors an electrical circuit for multiple fault conditions to verify that the system is operating correctly.
In addition to a ground fault leakage detection, the AFE3010 can detect a grounded neutral condition which can also lead to a harmful shock from a connected appliance. The device implements a unique closed-loop grounded neutral detection scheme that eliminates the need for component resonance tuning, resulting in optimized system development time. Periodic self-test is performed once in every 180 cycles of the AC power line to ensure all the components related to ground fault control system are working properly. In case of any component failure the device enables an LED light, and/ or trips a solenoid to open the load switch. In applications where an LED light indicator is not needed, the ALARM pin can be configured as a secondary SCR driver to drive an additional solenoid for redundancy purpose.
The AFE3010 integrates shunt and LDO regulators to directly power from an AC line through a diode bridge and passive components.
The AFE3010 offers flexible configurable options to implement robust application specific protection schemes in different end-equipments such as electrical receptacles, circuit breakers, and so forth.

AFE4300Weight-scale and body-composition measurement analog front end (AFE) | Evaluation Boards | 2 | Active | The AFE4300 is a low-cost analog front-end incorporating two separate signal chains: one chain for weight-scale (WS) measurement and the other for body composition measurement (BCM) analysis. A 16-bit, 860-SPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is multiplexed between both chains. The weight measurement chain includes an instrumentation amplifier (INA) with the gain set by an external resistor, followed by a 6-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for offset correction, and a circuit to drive the external bridge/load cell with a fixed 1.7 V for ratiometric measurements.
The AFE4300 can also measure body composition by applying a sinusoidal current into the body. The sinusoidal current is generated with an internal pattern generator and a 6-bit, 1-MSPS DAC. A voltage-to-current converter applies this sinusoidal current into the body, between two terminals. The voltage created across these two terminals as a result of the impedance of the body is measured back with a differential amplifier, rectified, and the amplitude is extracted and measured by the 16-bit ADC.
The AFE4300 operates from 2 V to 3.6 V, is specified from 0°C to +70°C, and is available in a LQFP-80 package.
