Analog vs. Digital: What’s the Difference? Air temperature, sound loudness,light intensity—in nature, all of these quantities vary smoothly and continuously over a range. Such quantities is called ...

Static electricity can be one of those things that can leave both analog and digital circuits out of commission. Static electricity often occurs when dissimilar materials rub against each other ...

This article explores key mixed-signal applications, highlighting the difference between signal-path faults and rail-driven ...

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

In the early '90s, many pessimists predicted that CMOS would hit a wall as it approached 100-nm and lower gate lengths toward the end of the century. But CMOS processes steadily marched forward, ...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning could become dramatically more efficient, thanks to a new type of computer ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Foundries and packaging houses are wrestling how to control heat in the testing phase, particularly as devices continue to shrink and as thermally sensitive analog circuits are added into SoCs and ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software has introduced Tessent AnalogTest software -- an innovative solution that reduces pattern generation time for analog circuit tests from months to days. The solution ...
