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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
