A common desire for precision data acquisition is to improve the density of the signal chain while maintaining performance. As more applications move to an ADC-per-channel approach – trying to fit more channels into the same form factor – channel density is a great concern for many data acquisition signal chain designers.
On top of this, there has been a trend to make precision circuitry easier to use and more easily achieve data sheet performance. This provides an opportunity to build subsystems that address these concerns by implementing signal chains using system-in-package (SiP) technology.
