In addition to smaller and cooler solutions, the Himalaya family offers system robustness. Analog Devices' products support a wide input voltage range: from 4.5 V to 60 V across -40°C to 125°C. During transient conditions, the raw input voltage can easily shoot up greater than 50 V, posing high operation risks. Analog Devices' solution eliminates protection components to reduce cost and solution size. The extra margin provides for robustness during unexpected system conditions, for better reliability. Additionally, a single device can operate across several rails to improve scalability. This solution offers compliance with the International Electrotechnical Commission Standards IEC60664-1 and IEC61131-2; IEC61131-2 is for factory automation application specifically.
