37173 Power Supplies - Board Mount

37173 is the description of a high resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in wide use today. This converter is designed to work with the latest technologies such as DSPs and embedded systems, and is extremely versatile and compact. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to more demanding applications such as medical equipment and automotive electronics.

Application Fields

The 37173 is used in a wide variety of applications since it provides high-performance analog-to-digital conversion. It is used in audio and video production, medical imaging systems, military and aerospace applications, automotive electronics, and industrial instrumentation. It also is used to convert digital-to-analog (DAC). It provides accurate and reliable analog-to-digital conversion for applications where precision is essential, such as in ultrasound imaging systems.

Working Principle

The 37173 works on the sigma-delta analog-to-digital conversion principle. It uses a low-noise sigma-delta converter to convert the analog signal into a stream of digital values. It uses a high-resolution converter that is capable of producing 12 to 16-bit resolution in the form of the digital signal. The analog signal is encoded by the converter into a stream of values that are then decoded by the digital-to-analog converter into the output analog signal. The conversion accuracy is determined by the number of bits used in the encoding.

The 37173 uses an oversampling technique that eliminates high-frequency disturbances in the analog signal before it is converted to digital values. It is also capable of rejecting signal noise and providing reliable measurements even in low-quality analog input signals. Furthermore, it can operate in a wide range of temperatures and can be programmed for different applications.
