Overview
The AD630ARZ, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a high-precision balanced modulator/demodulator. It combines a flexible commutating architecture with the accuracy and temperature stability provided by laser wafer trimmed thin film resistors. This component is designed for precision signal processing and instrumentation applications that require a wide dynamic range. The AD630ARZ can recover a small signal from 100 dB of interfering noise, making it particularly useful in lock-in amplifier configurations and other applications requiring high signal-to-noise ratios.
