Intersil's "DAQ on a Stick" Provides Complete Thermocouple and Strain Gauge Reference Designs Using USB and EFM32 Gecko MCU

Demonstration at Embedded World 2013 Will Show Complete Signal Chain Solutions Using Intersil's Advanced Precision ICs With Microcontrollers

Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog, mixed-signal and power management semiconductors, will demonstrate new thermocouple and strain gauge designs using a convenient "DAQ on a Stick" at Embedded World 2013.

The "DAQ on a Stick" is a reference design highlighting Intersil's precision products with different microcontrollers. The reference designs are self-contained demonstrations showing a complete signal chain solution using Intersil parts and an Energy Micro EFM32 Leopard Gecko microcontroller. The complete reference designs are housed in a USB stick form factor. This compact design enables the user to power the application through the USB port and monitor the temperature through the GUI interface on a computer.
