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 ...

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 ...

Digital design is, of necessity, performed at a very high level of abstraction. When dealing with millions to hundreds of millions of transistors, working at the transistor level is completely ...

Advances in digital electronic circuits have prompted the boost in functions and ever smaller size of such popular consumer goods as digital cameras. But the same cannot be said of the older analog ...

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, ...

What if a century-old computing concept suddenly leapfrogged the most advanced GPUs on the planet? That’s exactly what researchers at Peking University have demonstrated with a new analog processor ...

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...

Researchers from Peking University say their resistive random-access memory chip may be capable of speeds 1,000 faster than ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The quest for power reduction in electronic circuits is one of the main drivers of circuit design innovation. Recently, ...
