Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

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.

At one time a scientist or engineer trying to solve a tough problem with electronic computation had the choice of an analog computer, a digital computer, or both together in a hybrid configuration.

The world of analog components is broad and diverse, and while testing analog chips may not take as long as running tests on complex SoCs, there are different requirements for analog devices. One type ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

I was doing some reminiscing about my college days and comparing to what is being taught today. One of the things that I clearly see is that schools focus more on the digital side of electronic design ...

When your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. That’s an old saying and perhaps somewhat obvious, but our tools do color our solutions and sometimes in very subtle ways. For ...

In part 1, we looked at some preliminary concepts of what quantum computing is and how it compares with analog computing. Let's continue the analysis. I contacted Dr. Ned Allen, chief scientist at ...

Okika Devices today announces it has won the “Best in Show” award for its SoC Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) board and chip. Presented to David Czajkowski, President of Okika Devices, the ...
