Analog Devices is celebrating its 50th anniversary by expanding support of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a not-for-profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology. A global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, ADI has contributed to the FIRST mission since 2004 through employees volunteering as mentors and judges, donations of converters, sensors and other products, as well as monetary donations and support of FIRST competition teams. “FIRST shares our commitment to STEM programs in the communities where we work and live by inspiring the next generation of young people to pursue careers in engineering and math. As we begin our next 50 years as a leading technology provider, ADI is pleased to continue our support—financially and through the talents of our dedicated employee-volunteers,” said Vincent Roche, President and CEO...

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE   Analog Devices has introduced a MEMS microphone – ADMP801 which is developed, especially for hearing aid applications. ADMP801 measures 7.3 cubic millimetres, produces low equivalent input noise (EIN) at 27 dBA SPL (sound pressure level) and consumes 17 µA at 1Vsupply. Pat O’Doherty, Vice-President, Healthcare Group, Analog Devices, said, “Hearing aids represent an application ideally suited for the advantages MEMS microphones offer including small size, stability and very low-power consumption. However, MEMS microphones have not offered the EIN performance levels that meet stringent hearing aid standards until now. The ADMP801 MEMS microphone offers noise performance, package size, and phase and gain stability that is very desirable for advanced hearing aids that incorporate beam forming to facilitate sound or voice localization.” The ADMP801 is a low-power, analog output, bottom-ported, omnidirectional MEMS microphone.  ...
