Tiny 24-Bit, I(2)C 4-Channel Delta-Sigma ADC Includes High-Accuracy Temperature Sensor
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-06-01 14:15. The LTC2493 communicates via a 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interface and measures four single-ended or 2 differential analog inputs in a tiny 4mm x 3mm DFN package, consuming just 300uA(max). The LTC2493's novel Easy DriveTM architecture results in zero average differential input current, allowing measurements of high impedance input sources without the use of an internal buffer.

Canon to Launch Professional Digital SLR Camera with 'Regular ISO Speed of 3200'
Submitted by nestorb on Mon, 2007-02-26 00:26. The ISO speed recommended by the company for regular use is "3200, which is one stop higher than that of the preceding model." Reduced pitch of a microlens array provided on the CMOS sensor resulted in an improvement in sensitivity. The 12-bit A-D converter used in the existing model is replaced by a 14-bit converter in the latest model.
