You know, we talk so much about the digital revolution,
about ones and zeros. Right. It's all about the
processing power. But before a single bit of
that information can be processed, it has to
come from somewhere. It has to be captured from
the real world. From the messy, noisy, continuous
world around us. Exactly. We're talking about
light, sound, temperature, motion, pressure.
All of this stuff needs to be turned into a reliable
electrical signal. And that translation, that...
critical interface, that's the domain of analog
devices, ink, ADI. If you're using almost any
advanced technology today, a medical scanner,
a car, your phone. You're relying on their work.
They are sort of the architects of that interface
between the real world and the digital chip.
They make that link possible. So for this deep
dive, we are going to get into how analog devices,
an American multinational semiconductor company
that was founded way, way back in 1965. came
to completely dominate this field. And it really
boils down to three core pillars for them. High
performance data conversion, signal processing,
and power management technology. The scale we're
talking about here is just immense. Oh, absolutely.
This is not some niche company. Based on the
sources we've looked at, ADI is headquartered
out in Wilmington, Massachusetts. They're pulling
in something like $11 .02 billion in revenue
as of 2025. Wow. And they have a global workforce
of 24 ,500 people. I mean, this is a giant. And
it's not just the revenue. It's the reach. A
quarter of a million customers. In every sector
you can imagine. Communications, automotive,
healthcare. So our mission today is... Well,
it's pretty complex. We want to peel back the
layers on 60 years of history. We need to look
at their core technologies, those massive acquisitions
that completely reshape the market. And some
of the engineering genius behind it all and how
it, you know, unexpectedly affects all of our
daily lives. OK, so let's unpack this core mission.
We often hear this phrase. Translating the real
world into digital data. Right. Now, for our
audience, we can probably skip the kindergarten
definition of analog versus digital. Yeah. Let's
talk about the actual technical challenge ADI
solves here. That's the key. Yeah. The challenge
is immense because that analog input, whether
it's a tiny microphone signal or a faint radar
reflection, it's inherently noisy. It's messy.
It's incredibly messy. It's continuous. And it's
always got interference. So the job isn't just
to sample it. No. The job is to capture that
signal, clean it up, amplify it without adding
any more distortion, and maintain as much of
the original information as possible. You're
trying to map this infinite, continuous physical
world onto a finite set of ones and zeros. Exactly.
And if you lose information or add noise right
at the start of that process... You can't get
it back. No amount of fancy digital processing
later on can fix a bad initial measurement. Garbage
in, garbage out. So the source materials confirm
that ADI really focuses on five specific types
of inputs. Right. Light, sound, temperature,
motion, and pressure. These are the fundamentals.
And their chips, their integrated circuits, have
to filter out all that environmental chaos and
just pull out the clean, usable signal. That
signal conditioning part, you know, with their
specialized amplifiers. Right. That's half the
battle right there. And the other half of the
battle, the part that is literally the engine
of the company. That would be the analog to digital
converters, the EDCs, and, of course, the digital
to analog converters, the DCs. This isn't just
one product line for them. Oh, no. This is their
absolute center of gravity. It accounts for over
50 % of the entire company's revenue. They are
the global benchmark for this technology. Okay,
so let's dig into that. What makes an ADI data
converter so good? It's not just, you know, a
black box that spits out a number. It's all about
fidelity. Pure and simple. Fidelity. And that
breaks down into a few key things. When you look
at why they have this advantage, you're looking
at superior resolution. How many bits they use
to describe the signal. More bits, more detail.
Exactly. Finer granularity. Then you've got the
sampling rate, how fast they can take snapshots
of that signal. But honestly, maybe the most
important thing is the noise floor. The electrical
hiss. The background hiss, exactly. ADI components
are just engineered to introduce the absolute
minimum amount of noise and distortion during
that conversion process. So even a really, really
faint signal can be picked out from the background.
Precisely. That's why they are foundational to
100 ,000 customers. It's not that they just make
an ADC. It's that they make an ADC that gives
you the highest possible signal -to -noise ratio,
even in really tough conditions. And that's critical
in, say, scientific instruments or... medical
imaging. Think about it. In scientific instrumentation,
your measurement has to be accurate to parts
per million. In an MRI machine, the resolution
of that signal is what determines the diagnosis.
A cheap, noisy converter in that situation isn't
just useless, it's dangerous. Let's use that
idea of precision to talk about a specific almost
sci -fi application, the IceCube project. Ah,
yes. We're talking about using ADI components
to literally measure the universe. This is one
of the best examples of their engineering at
the absolute limit. So IceCube is a neutrino
telescope. A neutrino telescope. And it's located
at the South Pole. It uses thousands of sensors
buried deep in the Antarctic ice to detect these
elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos.
Wait, wait. Buried deep in the Antarctic ice,
that sounds like the most difficult place imaginable
to take a sensitive measurement. Can we just
pause on that? What does it take to get a clean
signal at, what, minus 50 degrees Celsius? That's
the whole problem, isn't it? Neutrinos almost
never interact with matter. They're incredibly
hard to see. But when one does hit the ice, it
creates this tiny, tiny flash of light. Cherenkov
radiation. Cherenkov radiation, exactly. And
these digital optical modules, or DOMs, have
to capture that flash. And inside those DOMs?
You find ADI's data converters and amplifiers.
The engineering challenge is, well, it's twofold.
First, the parts have to just survive. They have
to work reliably for years in a place where you
can't just go fix them. Right. And second...
That light signal is so minuscule. You need incredibly
low noise amplifiers and super high resolution,
high speed ADCs just to tell the difference between
a real neutrino event and, you know, random background
static. So ADI is basically providing the high
definition camera and microphone for one of the
most sensitive physics experiments on the planet.
That's a perfect way to put it. The success of
the whole project hangs on their ability to accurately
digitize those faint. brief flashes of light.
It just shows that they're not just making parts
for your TV. They're building the foundation
for systems that operate at the very edge of
human knowledge. And understanding that level
of technical necessity really helps you appreciate
the company's 60 -year journey. It really does.
Analog devices didn't start out trying to measure
the universe. They started in 1965 in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. With two MIT graduates, Ray Stedea
and Matthew Lorber. And their first product was...
Well, it was the definition of foundational analog
engineering. The Model 101 operational amplifier.
An op amp. An essential building block for electronics.
But by today's standards, it was huge. The sources
describe it as a hockey puck sized module. A
hockey puck? Yeah. And it was used in very specialized
test and measurement equipment. So right from
the start, their niche was high performance.
Precision components for really demanding customers.
And they move fast. They had their IPO in 1969,
just four years after they started. A decade
after that, 1979, they were on the New York Stock
Exchange. Then the 70s were all about establishing
their technological leadership. A really crucial
period. In 1973, they hit two huge milestones.
They were the first to launch laser trim wafers.
Which let them fine tune the precision of their
chips after they were made. A huge deal for consistency.
And even more importantly, they introduced the
first CMOS digital to analog converter. CMOS
technology. Combining that efficiency of CMS
with high precision conversion was really a massive
step toward making these kinds of circuits smaller
and cheaper to produce. And that innovation let
them scale up. They grew steadily and then hit
a big milestone in 1996. Surpassed a billion
dollars in annual revenue. And then the new millennium
hit and it seems... like they just hit the accelerator.
It was a dramatic push. In the year 2000 alone,
sales jumped by over 75 % to, what was it, $2
.578 billion. And they were buying companies
less than right. Five separate acquisitions just
in that one year. They were clearly building
this huge arsenal of intellectual property and
manufacturing capability. But this is where the
story gets really interesting. Right. Because
that growth, as impressive as it was, is nothing
compared to the moves they made in the last decade.
Their acquisition strategy just completely changed
the game. It wasn't just about growth. It was
about consolidation. It was about achieving total
dominance over the high performance analog signal
chain. And the first huge move was in 2016, the
acquisition of linear technology. Linear tech.
Linear tech was, I mean, they were the gold standard
for high reliability industrial grade stuff.
So why spend nearly $15 billion on them? It was
about synergy. It was about closing a really
critical product gap. ADI was the king of high
speed data conversion. Right. But linear tech
brought this unmatched. strength in high -performance
power management. Circuits designed to work in
brutally hot noisy environments without ever
failing. So you could go to ADI for the whole
solution. The entire signal chain from the sensor
to the signal conditioning the conversion and
now all the way to the power supplies that run
the chips. It was a brilliant move. Okay so that
filled a gap. But the next one, four years later
in 2020, Maxim integrated. That was just massive.
An all stock deal that valued the combined company
at $68 billion. $68 billion. Yeah. And this one
had a slightly different logic. Linear tech was
synergy. Maxim was about eliminating a top competitor
and getting deep expertise in fast growing markets.
Like automotive and data centers. Exactly. Maxim
was a titan. They held a huge amount of IP that
either overlapped with or complemented what ADI
already had. So that's a fair question then.
Did they just buy their market share? Did that
$68 billion merger actually create new innovation?
Or was it just about acquiring IP and controlling
prices? It's a very critical question. And, you
know, the immediate result was absolutely market
share dominance, no question. But the real long
-term value comes from cross -pollinating the
engineering teams. Oh, so? Maxim brought incredibly
optimized battery management systems for EVs
and power expertise for data centers. When you
integrate that knowledge with ADI's core data
conversion tech, you can create these incredibly
complex systems on a chip that neither company
could have made on its own. So it moves them
up the value chain from component supplier to
system partner. That's the idea. And it's so
important to remember, even before these huge
deals, ADI was already the leader. Right. The
source material points out that back in 2012.
long before any of this. They already had 48
.5 % of the entire worldwide data converter market.
These acquisitions weren't about catching up.
They were about creating an untouchable leader
in high performance analog. And while all this
consolidation was happening in the West, they
were also looking East. That's right. The September
2024 partnership announcement with Atata Group
in India. A very shrewd move. It reflects the
geopolitical reality, doesn't it? Yeah. It signals
they're serious about exploring the semiconductor
ecosystem in India. It's about diversifying the
supply chain. Absolutely. Everyone is trying
to reduce their concentration in Southeast Asia.
Partnering with a huge, reliable player like
Tata is a critical, proactive step to secure
future manufacturing and talent. So it's a three
-pronged strategy, really. Dominate the core
tech, consolidate the competition, and diversify
the geographical risk. Which brings us to the
actual product powerhouse. We know ADCs and DACs
are the core, but their portfolio is, well, it's
vast. It covers that entire signal chain. If
an electrical signal exists, it seems like ADI
has a chip designed to manipulate it. Modern
systems are just too complex. You need more than
just conversion. You need conditioning, amplification,
processing. And clean power. Let's start with
the most basic, but maybe the most critical part
besides the converter itself, the amplifier.
People often overlook the sophistication of amplifiers.
ADI makes everything from, you know, basic precision
amps to these highly specialized operational
amplifiers app with extremely low noise. But
the really critical ones are the instrumentation
amplifiers. Yes. They're designed for incredibly
high accuracy measurements, like in a medical
device or a factory, where they have to reject
what's called common mode noise. So that's the
interference that gets picked up on both signal
lines at the same time. Exactly. And the instrumentation
amp is designed to ignore that noise and only
amplify the tiny little difference in the signal
that you actually want to mirror. It's what protects
your signal from the chaos around it. And then
you have current sense amplifiers. Critical for
monitoring power in EVs or industrial motors.
And specialty amps for high -speed video and
audio. The list goes on. Okay, so moving from
the wire into the airwaves. Radio Frequency Integrated
Circuits, RFICs. The RF signal chain is a whole
different ballgame. You're dealing with high
frequencies, which are just really susceptible
to noise and loss. So ADI's goal is to simplify
that for their customers. Right. They have components
like their TREPROV or RMS power detectors. Which
do what, exactly? They accurately measure the
power output of a transmitter in, say, a 5G base
station. If you can't measure your power correctly,
you can't run your system efficiently. And you
need to generate those frequencies in the first
place. Which is where their phase -locked loops,
or PLLs, and direct digital synthesizers, or
DDSs, come in. These are the chips that create
the super stable, accurate frequencies you need
for wireless communication and radar. And now
we get to the point where the digitized data
needs to be processed before it gets sent off
to the main brain of the system. The world of
digital signal processing. DSPs. And ADI is a
leader here. A foundational leader. These are
programmable chips that run specialized algorithms,
filtering, analyzing, compressing data in real
time. They have several different families. Let's
talk about those. For example, the Blackfin family.
What's the use case there? Blackfin is all about
low power consumption mixed with flexible control.
So you see it in portable devices, cars, high
-end audio gear, anywhere where power efficiency
is really key. And what about the Shark family?
The name sounds powerful. Shark is the raw computational
muscle. It stands for Super Harvard Architecture,
and it's designed for massive floating point
processing. So big number crunching. Huge number
crunching. Think high -end audio mixing, radar
and sonar processing, complex scientific instruments.
It's all about offloading that heavy, real -time
data crunching from the main system processor.
And rounding it all out, you have interface and
power management chips. The essential glue. Interface
products, like for the CAN bus and cars, ensure
robust communication. And their digital isolators
are absolutely critical for safety in medical
and industrial gear. They prevent dangerous high
voltages from crossing between subsystems. Exactly.
And their power management chips just provide
the clean, stable power that their own precision
analog parts need to function properly. It's
a very holistic approach. And we should briefly
mention their history with MEMS technology. Yes,
microelectromechanical systems. They were a pioneer.
Even though they sold their MEMS microphone business
to InvenSense back in 2013, their impact was
huge. Those mics were in the early smartphones
and tablets. Absolutely. And their MEMS accelerometer.
were what made motion control possible in early
game controllers from Microsoft and Logitech.
That brings us to the people who made all this
possible, the engineering deep bench. We have
to talk about the fellows. This is the core of
their credibility right here. Let's start with
Barry Gilbert. He was named the company's first
technology fellow back in 1979. And he's famous
for the Gilbert cell. For our audience, can you
explain why that one circuit is so important
even today? The Gilbert cell is... To put it
simply, an electronic multiplying mixer. It takes
two signals and outputs a signal that's proportional
to their product. Why is that useful? In wireless
communications, it's the key to frequency shifting.
When your phone gets a high frequency radio signal,
you have to mix it with another frequency to
bring it down to a lower frequency the ADCs can
handle. And the Gilbert cell does that mixing
cleanly. With incredible linearity and minimal
distortion. It's a revolutionary design, and
it's foundational to basically every modern radio
receiver and transmitter. An absolute legend.
Then there's Paul Brokaw. Brokaw, another analog
fellow, is the inventor of the Brokaw band gap
reference. He holds over 100 patents, but this
is his masterpiece. We talked about how temperature
is the enemy of precision. How does the bandgap
reference solve that problem? Okay, so a precision
measurement needs a perfect, unchanging reference
voltage, a stable ruler. Right. But all semiconductor
devices drift with temperature. Your ruler shrinks
and expands as it heats up and cools down. The
Brokaw bandgap reference is a circuit that generates
a voltage that is incredibly stable across a
wide temperature range. And it does this by sort
of balancing two opposing forces. That's the
genius of it. It combines two voltage elements,
one that naturally increases with temperature
and another that naturally decreases. By summing
them in a very clever way, he created an output
voltage where the temperature variations cancel
each other out. Creating that rock solid ruler.
The rock solid ruler that every high resolution
ADC needs to function. It's a critical foundation
for stability in millions and millions of ICs.
And finally, Robert Adams, who brought that same
level of precision to the world of audio. Robert
Adams is a technical fellow who manages their
audio development. He's a fellow in the Audio
Engineering Society, so he's highly respected.
His focus was on applying these high -precision
techniques to complex audio problems. Right,
from digital audio processing to noise cancellation.
It just shows that for ADI, it doesn't matter
if the signal is a weak neutrino from across
the galaxy or a complex musical waveform. They
apply the same level of engineering rigor to
everything. We have the technology. We have the
strategy. Now let's talk about the impact. What's
so fascinating here is how ADI technology is
the bedrock for systems that are profoundly changing
our lives. From remote health care to self -driving
cars. Let's dive into those four major markets,
starting with health care. This is a field where
the consequences of an error are the highest,
right? So it's a natural fit for ADI's precision
components. They sell into everything from MRI
and CT scanners to patient monitoring. But the
really exciting stuff is happening in remote
and home health care. Moving diagnostics out
of the hospital. Exactly. And that trend is perfectly
captured by this thing called the Sentinel system.
Yes, this is a huge deal. In March 2024, ADI
got... U .S. FDA 510K clearance for Sentinel.
So what is it? It's a compact, wearable, non
-invasive system for remotely managing cardiopulmonary
conditions. It's designed specifically for chronic
diseases like congestive heart failure. A wearable
that monitors heart failure with FDA clearance?
That's a massive leap. And it's totally dependent
on ADI's ability to shrink down high -precision
analog sensing. It connects their core competency
-accurate data conversion directly to the patient
24 -7. This gives doctors continuous data, which
is so much more valuable than a snapshot from
a clinic visit. It could help prevent acute episodes
before they happen. That's the goal. And their
components are inside other life -saving gear
too. Like the Carmel Sonics Holter. An overnight
pulmonary monitor. It uses their precision signal
processing, probably running on a Blackfin DSP,
to analyze subtle breathing patterns while you
sleep. That diagnostic accuracy comes directly
from the high -fidelity signal capture ADI enables.
And then there's emergency intervention like
with Zoll Medical's Pocket CPR. A powerful use
for a tiny MEMS accelerometer. The Pocket CPR
actually measures the depth and rate of chest
compressions during CPR. So it gives real -time
feedback to the rescuer. Exactly. It tells you
if you're pushing hard enough and fast enough,
it dramatically increases the effectiveness of
CPR. It's a simple tool that saves lives, all
thanks to a tiny, precise sensor. Okay, let's
shift gears to the road, the automotive market.
This is maybe the toughest environment for electronics.
Absolutely. The temperatures, the vibrations,
the safety requirements. Yeah. It's brutal. ADI
is deeply embedded in the architecture of modern
cars. In safety systems like stability control
and driver assistance. All those ADS systems
rely on a constant stream of high -speed data
from radar, LIDAR, cameras, all of which need
ADI's fast, low -latency data converters. And
now with the move to electric vehicles, they've
found a whole new critical job. In an EV, the
battery pack is everything. It's the most valuable
and most dangerous component. And you have to
manage it perfectly. You need to constantly monitor
the voltage and temperature of hundreds of individual
cells with incredible accuracy. ADI's high -proficient
data converters are essential for that. An error
of just a few millivolts can degrade the battery
life or, you know, cause a fire. So their parts
are key to the safety and efficiency of the entire
EV powertrain. Absolutely. And they're not just
selling chips for today's cars. They're trying
to shape the future of the connected vehicle.
Which brings us to the OpenGMSL Association.
Right. This was announced in June of 2025. GMSL
stands for Gigahertz Multimedia Serial Link.
So it's about moving huge amounts of data around
the car. Torrents of data. As cars become more
autonomous, they're generating gigabits per second
of video and sensor data that has to be moved
reliably and securely. And that needs a standard.
That's the thing. For true autonomy, all the
cameras, displays, and sensors have to talk to
each other flawlessly. The Open GMSL Association,
which ADI is leading, aims to create a worldwide
open standard for this. They want to sell the
components and set the rules for how data moves
in the car in the future. Okay, market number
three, industrial. Less glamorous, maybe, but
a huge, stable business. The industrial sector
is all about process control. Refining oil, making
chemicals, running robotic assembly lines. And
that requires precision. It requires closed -loop
feedback. ADI's multi -channel DACs are used
to precisely control valves, motors, and actuators.
Their parts help factories run more efficiently
and reliably, which saves enormous amounts of
energy and money. And finally, the consumer market.
This is where their tech becomes invisible. Right.
If you have a device that captures or reproduces
high -quality sight or sound, ADI is probably
in there somewhere. Digital cameras. Managing
autofocus and image stabilization. Home theater
systems, professional audio gear, high -def TVs,
advanced touchscreen controllers. Their job is
to ensure that the interaction between you and
your digital content is as high fidelity as possible.
To support that level of market penetration,
you need a massive global footprint. So this
raises the question, beyond Wilmington, Massachusetts,
where is this all actually happening? It's a
truly global company. They have to be. While
Wilmington is the corporate HQ, they have major
regional headquarters in Shanghai, Munich, Limerick
in Ireland. Reflecting the CEO's background.
Right. And Tokyo. They're on the ground in all
the major tech hubs. And the manufacturing and
design is even more spread out. Of course. The
fabs, where they actually make the silicon chips,
are in the U .S. and Ireland. But the later stages,
packaging and testing, that's mostly in Asia.
The Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. But
the real indicator of their global brainpower
is the list of design centers. This is where
the innovation happens. Absolutely. You have
to go where the talent is. The sources list design
centers in Australia, Canada, China, Egypt, England,
Germany, India, Italy, Japan. The list just keeps
going. Scotland, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and all
across the U .S. This geographical spread is
essential for staying on top. technologically.
Let's talk about the leadership that has steered
this global ship, starting with the co -founder
Ray Stata. Stata provided that foundational stability.
He was CEO from 73 to 96 and stayed on as chairman
all the way until 2022. Wow. He was the one who
really established the company's culture of focusing
on high performance analog and building that
decentralized R &D structure. He's a huge figure
in the industry. And after Stata, Gerald Fishman
took over. Fishman was a longtime veteran. He
was CEO from 1996 until he passed away in 2013.
He oversaw that massive growth phase in the early
2000s when they first broke the billion dollar
mark and went on that acquisition spree. And
that brings us to the current leader, Vincent
Roche. Roche took over as CEO in 2013 and became
chairman in 2022. He's a great example of their
internal growth. He started as a marketing director
in their Limerick office back in 88. And his
tenure is defined by those two monster acquisitions.
Linear Tech and Maxim. His leadership in navigating
those integrations is a big reason why Forbes
ranked him number four on their 25 smartest CEOs
in America list in 2025. And the company as a
whole has been getting a lot of recognition lately
for its management and culture. It's part of
the modern corporate mandate, right? In 2024,
they were named one of the Wall Street Journal's
best managed companies. And in 2025, Time listed
them as one of the world's most sustainable companies.
And Newsweek ranked them 13th among America's
most responsible companies. So they're being
measured on more than just revenue. They have
to be. It's about their environmental, social
and governance factors now. But we have to be
impartial here and report on a recent event that
shows the very high geopolitical stakes involved
when you make this kind of high precision technology.
We have to report this fact from the sources.
It's not a judgment, but it's a critical illustration
of the challenges these companies face. In 2024,
ADI fired an engineer, Mahdi Mohamed Sadeghi.
He was fired following his arrest on federal
charges of providing material support to a terrorist
organization. And the core of the accusation
was about evading U .S. sanctions. The sources
allege that he facilitated indirect sales of
ADI technology that was intended for the Iranian
military. And the charges specifically link that
technology to its alleged use by the Islamic
resistance in Iraq in the 2024 drone attack on
the U .S. military outpost at Tower 22. It's
a stark reminder of the dual use problem. It's
the inherent risk. Technology designed for medical
imaging can be repurposed for military systems.
It just highlights the immense logistical and
ethical complexity of managing a global supply
chain for strategically sensitive components.
Which makes transparency and knowledge sharing
even more important. Let's finish up by talking
about how ADI supports its massive customer base.
They have a really impressive commitment to educating
their own customers. Their flagship publication
is Analog Dialogue. It started in 1967. It's
the longest -running in -house publication in
the entire electronics industry. That's an incredible
investment in education. It is. It's a forum
for engineers to discuss complex circuits and
systems. And in the digital world, they launched
EngineerZone in 2009. That's their online community.
A huge online technical support community. Over
100 forums where customers and employees can
ask and answer tough technical questions. It's
a massive, self -sustaining knowledge base. And
for engineers who need a head start on a design...
They have the circuits from the lab program.
What's that? It's a repository of pre -engineered,
pre -tested... Reference circuits for common
design challenges. They're not just diagrams.
They're fully documented with test data, schematics,
everything. So you can just grab a proven subcircuit
and drop it into your design. Exactly. It accelerates
development and it reduces risk for their customers.
So this deep dive has really shown that Analog
Devices, Inc. is the official translator for
our digital world. The key takeaway for me is
just how essential that bridge is. Between the
analog world light sound pressure. and the digital
processors that run everything, and how their
ADCs and DACs are the absolute core of that,
generating more than half their revenue. And
their history isn't just about innovation. It's
about strategic, aggressive consolidation. Those
monumental acquisitions. Linear technology in
2016 for power and reliability. Maxim integrated
in 2020 to cement their dominance in automotive
and data centers. It created a global leader
that's just... virtually untouchable in its space.
And their tech shows up in the most mission -critical
places, from the IceCube neutrino telescope to
that wearable Sentinel system for heart failure.
You know, if we connect this to the bigger picture,
ADI's journey just proves how these foundational,
often invisible components, are the things that
dictate the pace of innovation. everywhere right
the genius of engineers like gilbert and brokaw
their circuits provided the stable high fidelity
building blocks you need to measure reality with
enough precision to build the next generation
of smart systems whether it's a self -driving
car or a professional recording studio exactly
which you know leads to a final provocative thought
for you to consider we've seen how adi tech is
used in a remote heart monitor like sensinal
And how they're pushing for data standardization
in cars with OpenGMSL. So consider this. How
might the rapid convergence of high -precision
analog sensing, wireless tech, and open data
standards permanently shift high -level health
care out of the hospital? Truly decentralize
it. In the next five years. The ability to trust
a diagnostic -quality data stream coming from
a device on your wrist instead of a machine in
a clinic. That trust is only possible because
of the invisible work done by these analog architects.
