ADI products

ADI, an American analog device company, produces a variety of semiconductor devices, which are divided into the following categories:

Audio amplifiers, comparators, analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, embedded processing, digital signal processing, MEMS, sensors, radio waves, power management, audio/video, etc.

In terms of software, ADI has the SoundMAX audio driver, which is used to match the company's AD series audio chips. SoundMAX is a technical specification that includes a series of technologies that can reduce CPU usage and increase the realism of sound effects. Some users even modify the SoundMAX driver to apply it to non-ADI products.

ADI's Analog Semiconductor Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in Shanghai is the Asia-Pacific headquarters of ADI. It is also a company registered by ADI in China and has established design centers in Beijing and Shanghai. ADI is committed to helping Chinese manufacturers solve their most difficult design problems.

ADI latest news

During E3 2006, ADI revealed to the press that it was cooperating with Nintendo to develop a controller for Nintendo's new game console Wii, which incorporated Analog Devices' ADXL330 3-axis linear accelerometer.

Analog Devices recently partnered with Source Audio LLC to manufacture the DSP and motion sensors for the HotHand, a motion-controlled guitar effects device.

AD announced its withdrawal from the sound card market in July 2008. AD's statement pointed out that as the PC sound effects market becomes increasingly narrow and profits shrink, the company will focus on other markets. In addition, drivers for previous products will be continuously updated.
