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, ...

A team of scientists has taken a big step toward a new kind of computing that could work at the speed of light. Instead of ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in analog computing, developing a programmable electronic circuit that harnesses the ...

Analog Circuit Design Volume 3 provides hundreds of Linear Technology’s Design Notes for analog subjects ranging from power management and mixed signal circuit design to signal conditioning and ...

The cult of DSPism believes that eventually there will be essentially no analog circuits, that all circuitry will be either digital, as microcontrollers (μCs), with mixed-technology ADCs and DACs.

I took a Computer Logic Design class in college, so when I stumbled upon the Ksimus Circuit Simulator, I was intrigued. At the risk of waxing nostalgic, I remember what it was like to build circuits ...

Life, uh, finds a way. And more often than not, that way is analog, not digital. Even the impulse-like action potentials in the brain are more complex than computers’ 1s and 0s — and digital ...

Modern circuit design is a “mixed signal” endeavor thanks to the availability of sophisticated process technologies that make available bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), ...

Synthetic biology has already led to several notable firsts — from the construction of switches, oscillators and feed-forward networks to the creation of gene regulatory circuits that can carry out ...

This project explores how analog circuits can mimic the behavior of a simplified biological neuron, based on the 1943 McCulloch & Pitts model. By using op-amps in summing and comparator configurations ...
