Signal Chain Design Poses Difficult Challenges
Figure 1: A Timeline of Cost Escalation through a Typical Project Life Cycle
"To avoid design flaws, re-design, and the worst-case scenario product re-call (see Figure 1), an entire system
needs to be designed, simulated, tested, and characterized from end to end to meet or exceed performance
specifications and requirements. To aid designers, ADI has tested references, including schematics, layouts,
simulations, and models, to speed up the design process and avoid these scenarios."
