NXP N-AFE 8-Channel Analog Front-End, Now Available from Mouser, Enables the Software-Defined Factory
October 25, 2023 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the N-AFE 8-channel analog front-end (AFE) ICs from NXP Semiconductors.
The NXP N-AFE ICs are highly configurable industrial-grade multichannel universal input AFEs that meet high-precision measurement requirements. The devices integrate low-leakage, high-voltage (HV) fast multiplexers, a low-offset / low-drift programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and buffers, a high data-rate 24-bit Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a low-drift voltage reference.
Designed as software-configurable universal analog input devices, the new N-AFE family helps enable the software-defined factory, making it easier for operators to configure a smart factory and adjust settings based on shifting market needs. The N-AFE family of devices integrates up to eight universal analog inputs at a lower system cost for data acquisition systems in factory and process automation. It combines signal chain protection, precision amplification and high-speed data conversion, filters and highly accurate self-diagnostics to monitor factory conditions, helping to ensure a more consistent and repeatable quality of product. These devices also integrate additional advanced diagnostics to reduce factory downtime with predictive maintenance and anomaly detection, while their factory calibration and self-calibration features help reduce test costs.
Applications include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), I/O modules, data loggers, instrumentation, and high-precision sensor/data acquisition systems.
