RELATED SIGNAL CHAINS
A signal chain is a series of signal conditioning electronic com-
ponents that receive input (data acquired from sampling either
real-time phenomena or from stored data) in tandem, with the
output of one portion of the chain supplying input to the next.
Signal chains are often used in signal processing applications to
gather and process data or to apply system controls based on
analysis of real-time phenomena. For more information about
this term and related topics, see the “signal chain” entry in the
Glossary of EE Terms on the Analog Devices website.
Analog Devices eases signal processing system development by
providing signal processing components that are designed to
work together well. A tool for viewing relationships between
specific applications and related components is available on the
