What is AFE?

AFE stands for Analog Front-End. It is a circuit that conditions analog signals, such as those from sensors, before they are converted into digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Common functions of an AFE include amplification, filtering, and signal conditioning to optimize the signal for the ADC and improve overall system performance. AFEs are used in a wide range of applications including data acquisition systems, medical devices, industrial control, and audio processing.

ASIC

Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are custom-designed chips for specific tasks. In the context of Analog Front Ends (AFEs), an ASIC designed to perform AFE functions would directly compete with discrete or integrated AFE solutions. An ASIC can incorporate the functions of an AFE into a single custom chip, potentially offering advantages in terms of size, power consumption, and performance for high-volume applications.
