ICs that enable world-class diagnostics for any patient, anywhere.
ADI is a member of Continua Health Alliance, an international group of technology, medical device, and health and fitness industry leaders, dedicated to making personal telehealth a reality.
Our newest medical innovations AD9271: 8-Channel Ultrasound Receiver Combined LNA, VGA, AAF, ADC blocks reduce signal path size by 50%, power by 25%. Enables a new level of patient care with accurate images in battery-powered equipment for nontraditional environments.
AD8339: Doppler Phase Shifter Replaces crosspoint switches and analog delay lines, saving up to 75% of board space, 30% of power consumption. Allows increased channel density and CW Doppler capabilities in portable equipment.
AD7982: 1 MSPS, 18-Bit, 7 mW ADC Combines high accuracy, 95% less power, 80% less space than other ADCs. Enables patients to carry their cell-phone sized heart monitor all day long during their hospital recovery.
ADuM240x: iCoupler 4-Channel Digital Isolator ®
Replaces optocouplers with an integrated solution to reduce costs and space up to 60%. Multiple channels of 5 kV reinforced insulation in a single package simplifies design, improves reliability. Approved for medical grade isolation per IEC 60601-1.
User experience defines the design; ADI defines the possibilities With Analog Devices ICs inside their designs, medical engineers are dramatically improving the diagnostic experience for patients and practitioners everywhere. That’s because ADI offers an industryleading portfolio of standard and application-tuned amplifiers, data converters, microcontrollers, MEMS, low drop out regulators, and digital isolators with unequaled performance, size, cost, and power advantages. From imaging to monitoring to instrumentation, from medical to consumer to communications—wherever user experience defines the design, ADI is there.
