We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "PGA",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Acquisition offers 24bit ADC from
Audon Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The LabJack UE9-PRO has all the functions of the standard LabJack UE9 but with the addition of a high-resolution 24bit ADC".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Integrated convertor eases motor controller design from
Analog Devices: "Analogue front end combines two successive-approximation ADCs, a programmable gain amplifier and four comparators on a single chip to simplify control of industrial motors".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Wolfson Microelectronics
concerning its WM8593, WM8594 and WM8599
- take a look at Codecs handle all flat-panel TV audio signals
which says: "Multichannel codecs for flat panel TVs provide central routing point for all audio signals, both analogue and digital".
Take a look also at the news release from Microchip Technology, ADC raises resolution with six pins,
as well as Analogue IC upgrades multifunction peripherals from National Semiconductor,
and Battery monitor manages automotive power from Analog Devices.
