Figure 1: The generic Signal Path
National’s rich analogue history has positioned the company to drive the analogue signal path. National provides high-performance analogue signal conditioning, conversion, and serial data transfer solutions to meet the needs of technically demanding applications. When designing a complex system, whether it is in the area of data communications, industrial or automotive electronics, medical, or consumer devices, National’s goal is to simplify that design process by offering a broad range of signal-path solutions to meet a system’s challenging requirements. Choose from a large range of amplifiers, data converters, and interface products tailored to meet the specifications of a variety of applications. National defines the signal path in terms of the components needed to manage and handle analogue signals, and then to convert them into the digital domain (receive), or the need to convert from the digital domain and condition those signals to the analogue output (transmit). This is best illustrated by the generic Signal Path shown in Figure 1. National is focused on designing high-performance analogue solutions and the type of applications these products are deployed in is dependent on the creativity of the designer and the system-level problems that need to be solved.
