Foreword Bridging the physical and digital worlds for breakthrough innovation Analog Devices converts real-world phenomena into actionable insight, fundamentally impacting how leading companies will change the future. We create unmatched technologies and solutions to solve our customers' problems in instrumentation, automation, communications, healthcare, automotive, aerospace and defense, and numerous other industries. Analog Devices (ADI) plays a crucial role in aviation innovation, working closely with the industry to develop advanced avionics. We are actively involved in key aviation trends, including decarbonization, flight cost reduction, future air mobility, and autonomy. Our efforts align with the International Air Transport Association's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 through advancements in semiconductor technology. Modern aircraft are equipped with an increasing number of sensors. However, to effectively process sensor data, it is essential to ensure reliable, high-fidelity transmission from the sensors to computing systems. Innovations in edge processing, advanced RF, and data conversion are driving the development of more efficient and sustainable aviation technology. ADI is also focused on several other critical areas in aviation, including the electrification of aircraft (such as actuators and propulsion systems), reducing aircraft weight by replacing cables with wireless connectivity and optimizing power usage with advanced battery management and power distribution systems. Additionally, we provide high-performance Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) for robust AHRS and navigation with DO178/DO254 support, as well as high- fidelity signal processing for comprehensive environmental analysis. Our team of experts possesses deep knowledge of the technology, end applications, and integration challenges faced by our customers. With a comprehensive suite of solutions in high- performance power, advanced software-defined radio technology, RF-to-bits conversion, cutting- edge isolation, and low-noise precision, ADI is uniquely positioned to be a trusted partner in avionics solutions.
