The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Lately, many electronics observers rave over massive digital chips, and for a good reason. Incredible things happen when billions of tiny transistors, each a few nanometers wide, work together. These ...

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced a mixed-signal front-end (MxFE™) RF data converter platform that combines high-performance analog and digital signal ...

A rapid increase in wireless connectivity and more sensors, coupled with a shift away from monolithic SoCs toward heterogeneous integration, is driving up the amount of analog/RF content in systems ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what’s changing in analog design with the shift toward heterogeneous integration and more safety- and mission-critical applications with Mo Faisal, ...

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 ...

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.

It’s based on a paper by Alan Jurison, who chairs the IBOC Standards Development Working Group of the National Radio Systems Committee; Jeff Baird, principal engineer at Xperi; and Mike Raide, senior ...

Analog Devices is the second-largest producer of analog chips after Texas Instruments. The company should benefit from its strong market position in high-performance analog, especially in the ...

In part 1 of this pair of articles, we ran SPICE noise simulations on a simple second order lowpass filter. We saw that there is something fundamental about the ‘hold’ that the filter’s capacitor ...
