Analog Devices (ADI) has announced that its converter technology is working inside Ball Aerospace's High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera with the aim of helping scientists obtain the most detailed pictures ever taken of Mars.
Thomas Ebben, HiRISE Project Manager, Boer Aerospace shared, "ADI data converters far more than the demand for our core technology, the HiRISE camera can capture stunning HD Mars pictures to help us complete the historic mission."
Somshubro Pal Choudhury, MD, Analog Devices India, said, “We are very proud that ADI’s high performance data converters are at the heart of the HiRISE camera and are helping advance the collective understanding of Mars.”
Furthermore, within the HiRISE image processing and memory module, 28 of ADI’s high performance 14-bit AD6645 analog-to-digital converters are utilized across an array of 14 charge-coupled devices (CCDs), which capture incoming light reflected off the planet’s surface.
