This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Sensor and Detector Interfaces category on DigiKey.com
Products in this family perform signal conditioning, data conversion, stimulus generation, and/or a variety of other functions needed to connect a sensor or transducer mechanism to a host device. Examples include controllers for CCD image sensors, current transmitters for 4-20 mA interface and similar applications, ultrasound transducer front-ends, wheatstone bridge interfaces, and others.
SelectionCharacteristics
DigiKey Programmable: For verified products, DigiKey can program/flash your compiled code or confirguration variables prior to shipping. For unverified products, please enquire with ProgCent.Techs@digikey.com.
Type: Indicates the style and configuration of the device.
Input Type: Identifies the type of input signal the device was designed for use with.
Output Type: Identifies the type of signal output by the device.
Current - Supply: This rating indicates the nominal amount of current you would expect the device to draw during normal operation.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Package / Case: Indicates the type of protective case used on an electronic component to allow easy handling, installation, and protection. This selection was determined to be the closest industry standard applicable to the supplier device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
Supplier Device Package: This is what the manufacturer calls the package of this device. They are manufacturer specific. It is typically best to use the actual dimensions from the datasheets rather than to go by this terminology when designing your circuit.
