Active Stocks in the News: Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:TXN), Viggle Inc. (NASDAQ:VGGL), Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE:ARP)

On Thursday, Shares of Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:TXN), gained 2.45% to $50.51.

Texas Instruments introduced a pair of 32-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that combine high resolution, low noise and integrated fault detection, eliminating many of the performance and features trade-offs typically associated with device evaluation and selection. The highly integrated, sensor-ready ADS1262 and ADS1263 also remove the need for external components that enhance system cost and degrade noise and drift performance.

Key features and benefits of the ADS1262 and ADS1263

  • Accurate measurements of small signals: High resolution of 32 bits and low noise of 7 nVRMS at 2.5 SPS enable measurement of the smallest signals, which is essential for bridge applications where typical full-scale signals are 10 mV or less. Offset error drift is also 80 percent lower than competitive solutions, ensuring measurement stability over the entire temperature range.
  • Reduces component count to decrease system cost, board area and design time: The ADS1262 integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), 2.5-V reference, oscillator, level shifter, temperature sensor, dual-excitation current sources (IDACs) and eight general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins. The ADS1263 adds an auxiliary 24-bit delta-sigma ADC for systems needing parallel main-channel conversions, sensor-temperature compensation or sensor diagnostics.
  • Integrated monitoring and diagnostics: Features such as internal signal-chain monitoring, data-error detection, sensor-burnout detection and a test digital-to-analog converter (DAC) provide the internal and external fault detection and diagnostics necessary for high-reliability systems. Read TI’s new white paper to learn how to use the ADS1262 and ADS1263’s integrated diagnostics to assist improve system reliability.
  • Fast data rate: A maximum output data rate of 38 kSPS enables the ADCs to be used in high-data-throughput industrial applications.
  • Support for harsh industrial environments: The operating temperature range of -40°C to +125C is 20C wider than competing products.

Texas Instruments Incorporated designs, manufactures, and sells semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers worldwide. It operates through two segments, Analog and Embedded Processing.
