Analog input front end

close

Analog front end (AFE) of the analog input module is meant to digitize the received signal. The front end is also required to limit the input current, filter the input or rectify it in case of AC signals, and withstand certain voltage limits. To achieve higher channel density, front end might include a serializer to reduce required isolation channels. Texas Instruments offers solutions for all of these functions.
