Measurement technology innovation and Messweb Masters Award winner 2024: The AD converter as system-on-module.
Measurement technology is increasingly being integrated directly into devices, test benches, and embedded systems. With the ADCstamp, we are introducing a compact system-on-module that combines high-precision signal acquisition, high bandwidth, and galvanic isolation in integrable designs. This greatly simplifies the development of powerful data acquisition systems.
As a single-channel measurement module, the ADCstamp is the ideal component for all developers who, for example, need to integrate fast, high-precision measurement inputs into an existing or new FPGA/CPU design for power analysis of electric motors, without having to worry about the challenges of the analog and digital measurement channels themselves. With this innovation, we offer all hardware developers direct and easy access to our outstanding technology, which we have been successfully marketing for many years in the form of our own measuring devices.
In addition to many other possible applications, the state-of-the-art AD converter module is particularly suitable for precise measurements of electrical signals and the monitoring of high-speed processes. With 5kV galvanic isolation, maximum safety for high-voltage applications is guaranteed. Clear design specifications, FPGA source code examples, and complete starter kits ensure commissioning in just a few minutes.
In short, the ADCstamp offers maximum precision, fast response times and reliable measurements - a revolutionary solution for science and technology.

Measuring precise electrical signals is challenging, especially in sensitive applications such as sensor development. Even the smallest disturbances in the circuit board layout or EMC problems can impair signal integrity and cost valuable development time.
The ADCstamp offers a ready-to-use solution: With 24-bit AD conversion and sampling rates up to 4 MHz, it digitizes analog signals with high precision and reliability. Since the module is already EMC-optimized and well-designed in terms of layout, you can significantly reduce development effort, risk, and time-to-market.
Thanks to its high sampling rate, even fast signal changes in the microsecond range can be captured – ideal for high-speed processes, power electronics, or dynamic test benches.
With a bandwidth from DC to 1.7 MHz, the ADCstamp is suitable for both low-frequency measurements and high-frequency applications, such as in acoustic research or transient signal analysis.
The integrated galvanic isolation reliably protects your measurements from interference – especially in harsh industrial environments with motors, converters, or RF sources.
The ADCstamp is a powerful ADC system-on-module for precise, fast, and interference-free data acquisition. It minimizes development risks and maximizes measurement quality—in research, industry, and demanding high-tech applications.
An AD converter (analog-to-digital converter, ADC) converts a continuous analog input signal into a digitally coded output signal that can be processed by a digital system (e.g., a microcontroller or computer).
AD converters therefore play a crucial role in measurement technology. An example of this is a temperature sensor that outputs an analog voltage that depends on the temperature. An AD converter digitizes this voltage so that a microcontroller can convert it into degrees Celsius and display it.
