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.

Analog computers were largely phased out once digital systems began to hit the scene, but they’re still used in certain situations because they’re well-suited to complex simulations. Now, a research ...

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

In this nearly all-digital age, analog systems are a vanishing breed. Certain cars still have analog dashboards. A lot of people prefer analog clock faces to something that looks like the timer on a ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the biggest selling points of a microcontroller (MCU) is the peripherals—integrated blocks of specialized hardware that offload a task from the central processing unit (CPU) or integrate new ...
