8.1 Application Information

In an increasing number of industrial applications, data acquisition sub-systems are collecting more data about the environment in which the system is operating and applying deep learning algorithms in order to improve system reliability, implement preventative maintenance, and/or enhance the quality of data collected by the system. The ADS7142 can be used to connect to a variety of sensors and can provide deeper data analytics at lower power levels than existing solutions. The depth of analysis that can be performed on the data collected by the ADS7142 is enhanced by the internal data buffer, programmable alarm thresholds and hysteresis, event counter, and internal calibration circuitry. The applications circuits described in this section highlight specific use-cases of the ADS7142 for data collection that can further increase the depth and quality of the data being measured by the system.
