A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

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 ...

A new wave of startups is rising to meet the growing need for specialized analog customization in chip design projects, opening the door to more affordable custom designs. These startups are breathing ...

IP video is the "buzz" of the video surveillance industry, and it certainly does have a number of clear advantages. However, while the future is likely to be networked video, the present is most ...

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 ...

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

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 ...

Could analog artificial intelligence (AI) hardware – rather than digital – tap fast, low-energy processing to solve machine learning’s rising costs and carbon footprint? Researchers say yes: Logan ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

I admit the title “analog debugging” is a bit enigmatic. After reading it, an embedded firmware developer may suffer from cognitive dissonance, but trust me, it will make sense later. What the title ...
