Why Educators Choose Anabit

  • Many off-the-shelf education kits are well designed, but rigid. They often assume:

    • A specific lab flow
    • A fixed set of experiments
    • A one-size-fits-all course structure

  • Anabit’s approach is customization to match the educator’s curriculum and goals:

    • We offer custom circuit designs based on proven ADC and DAC circuit building blocks
    • We adapt those building blocks to your learning goals
    • We collaborate with you where customization adds real value to your curriculum

We keep development efficient, while still offering educator-driven customization.

What an Anabit Education Kit Can Include

  • The following are some example learning topics for data converter based kits and lab content. This list is in no way exhaustive, it is meant to give you a scope of what Anabit can collaborate and develop for your curriculum.

Example data converter topics:

  • Demonstrating aliasing on an ADC circuit and removing it with an anti-aliasing filter
  • Using oversampling to increase an ADC’s resolution and its limitations
  • Using undersampling and Nyquist Zones to measure high frequency signals with an ADC
  • Precision current measurements using a shunt resistor
  • Transconductance amplifier circuit 
  • Using a summing amplifier configuration to create a bipolar DAC signal
  • Compensating for ADC or DAC gain and offset error using the two point calibration approach
  • Measuring analog sensors: thermocouple, resistance temperature detector (RTD), strain gauge, vibration, microphone, etc.
  • Resistor ladder or R–2R ladder circuit to perform digital to analog conversion

  • We create custom education kits to match the educator’s curriculum and goals. Using our vetted DAC and ADC circuit building blocks, we can deliver lab-ready PCB designs with aspects like form factor, connections, and test points built to your specifications. For a more hands on circuit design experience for the student, we can deliver PCB through hole- or bread board-based circuits.

We can then package these custom data converter circuits with needed accessories to create a turn key kit, accessory examples:

  • Bread boards, wiring, jumpers, Sensors, transducers, etc
  • Microcontroller or microprocessors, as development boards or integrated in the custom circuits
  • Firmware for controlling and reading back data from the circuits

Anabit can help write the lab or training content as well. Using our vast industry experience we can help merge the theoretical with the practical in a lab course.

Anabit’s founder used to work for a large test and measurement company, so labs that require test instrumentation setups are not a problem. Incorporating software tools like a programming environment, MATLAB, or SPICE into the lab is also within Anabit’s capabilities.

  • The emphasis here is customization and flexibility. We can help with the lab kit hardware, the lab content or both.

A Collaborative Process on Your Schedule

  • 1. Discuss your lab course goals, needs, and constraints

  • 2. Identify specific hardware, lab concepts, or content needed to achieve teaching goals

  • 3. Develop, review, and refine deliverables

  • 4. Decide the best way to deliver material to the education institute or student as needed
