ADI unveils advanced biological, chemical sensing interface IC
The ADuCM355 precision analog microcontroller with bio-sensor and chemical sensor interface is offered as the only solution available that incorporates potentiostat and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) functionality on a single chip. It is ideal for applications such as industrial gas sensing, instrumentation, vital signs monitoring, and disease management.
The ADuCM355, says the company, features the industry’s most advanced sensor diagnostics, best-in-class low noise and low power performance, and smallest form factor. Compared to traditional discrete solutions – which pose limitations and require multiple ICs to achieve similar performance – the company’s new microcontroller platform is said to offer increased reliability, utmost flexibility, and significant cost savings.
The ADuCM355 is an ultra-low-power precision analog microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex M3 processor especially designed to control and measure chemical and biosensors. It is offered as the only solution available that supports dual potentiostat and more than three sensor electrodes.
The ADuCM355 is sampling now with production availability scheduled for July. Priced at $5.90/1,000 qty, it is available in a 6 x 5-mm 72-pin LGA package.
