Analog Devices

[2][3] The company manufactures analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits (ICs) used in electronic equipment.

[4][5] These technologies are used to convert, condition and process real-world phenomena, such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals.

[6] Analog Devices has approximately 100,000 customers[7] in the following industries: communications, computer, instrumentation, military/aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.

[9] The same year, the company released its first product, the model 101 op amp,[10] which was a hockey-puck sized module used in test and measurement equipment.

[15][18] In January 2008, ON Semiconductor completed the acquisition of the CPU Voltage and PC Thermal Monitoring Business from Analog Devices., for $184 million.

[21][22] In July 2020, Analog agreed to acquire Maxim Integrated in an all stock deal that values the combined company at $68 billion.

[23] On Sept 19, 2024, Tata Group and Analog Devices (ADI) had announced their partnership to discover new opportunities in the realm of semiconductor manufacturing in India.

[26] Design centers are located in Australia, Canada, China, Egypt, England, Germany, India, Japan, Scotland, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey.

[28] In addition, Stata is also a trustee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[28] his alma mater[27] and was awarded the IEEE Founders medal in 2003.

[36] At Analog Devices, Gilbert started the company's Northwest Labs design center in Oregon and continued to work on RF products crafted with high-speed nonlinear circuit techniques.

[51] Its data converters and amplifiers are also used by scientists and researchers in project "IceCube" – an underground neutrino telescope that uses digital optical modules (DOMS) to detect subatomic particles in the South Pole.

[52][53] Power management products for customers in the industrial, wireless infrastructure and digital camera markets support signal chain design requirements, such as dynamic range, transient performance, and reliability.

[75] Analog Devices MEMS microphones were found in smart phones, tablet PCs, security systems, and medical applications.

[79] The company's precision signal-processing components and Blackfin digital signal processors are included in Karmelsonix's Wholter, an overnight pulmonary monitor, and the Wheezometer, a personal asthmatic assessment device.

Analog Devices industrial market[82] includes process control systems that help drive productivity, energy efficiency and reliability.

[83][84] Analog Devices has technology for consumer electronics, which includes signal processing circuits for image processing, auto focus, and image stabilization for digital still cameras and camcorders, audio and video processors for home theater systems,[85] DVD recorders, and high-definition televisions and advanced touch screen controllers for portable media devices.

These circuits are engineered and tested for quick system integration to help solve design challenges ranging from common to complex.

In addition, reference circuits are tailored to meet real-world system integration needs and may also include board layout schematics, CAD tools models, device drivers, and evaluation hardware.
