Today it seems that everything electronic is digital—a reasonable assumption considering it’s hard to find a turnable knob anywhere and values are displayed in digits everywhere. The underlying ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

An analog computer makes use of continuously changeable quantities of a system, such as its electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic properties, to solve a given problem. While these devices are usually ...

Say the word “analog” to most EEs, and thoughts turn to op-amps, power devices, I/O, or signal conditioning circuits. But, the system beyond the circuit is also full of “analog,” if we include ...

For much of my career, I have been drawn to complex systems. The kind of work that sits beneath the surface but keeps everything else moving. Think supply chains, logistics and the operational ...

Why do we have so many analog ports, and do we need them? This question continues to come up repeatedly in our conversations with clients. Analog telephones use standard copper wire, connect to plain ...
