Texas Instruments and Arrow Electronics Present Live Analog eLab Webcast on Noise Reduction in Analog Applications
Share:
DALLAS (February 24, 2006) - Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) and Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYSE: ARW) will present a live Analog eLab Webcast entitled "Managing Noise and Ground in Precision Analog System Applications" on Wednesday, March 8, 2006, at 11:00 a.m. CST (18:00 hrs CET). TI analog expert Bill Klein, P.E. and eLab panelists, Bonnie Baker of TI and Dwight Curry of Arrow Electronics, will provide designers with an online discussion on how to keep noise out of sensitive input circuits. Analog design engineers are invited to register now at www.ti.com/analogelab to view the Webcast from their PCs.
During the hour-long session, the panelists will discuss the three sources of noise, the paths on which it can travel and the challenges involved with effectively reducing noise to tolerable levels. They will offer advice on the proper selection and placement of isolating and limiting components that keep analog and digital noise out of sensitive input circuits. And, because sensor applications often have low-level signals, the eLab engineers will offer insights on successful design layout techniques.
During the lab segment, Klein and Baker will demonstrate noise reduction techniques that are essential for maintaining harmony between the sensor circuit, analog circuitry and processor. The performance of several PCB renditions of an ADC application will be demonstrated. Improvements in performance will be seen as the design rules are utilized in the construction of the PCBs.
