Few IC-schematic symbols are simpler than the one that depicts an analog switch (Figure 1a). A basic switch comprises just an input, an output, a control pin, and a couple of power-supply pins. Yet, ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) As the Bode plot is the foundation for understanding the operational amplifier (op amp) ...

The rapid evolution of electronic system design has underscored the importance of Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) and mixed‐signal systems in achieving flexible, energy‐efficient processing.

looked at general static analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inaccuracy errors and ADC inaccuracy error that involves bandwidth. Hopefully, it also provided a greater ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we’ve talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We’ve also discussed the process of ...

In a world that favors digital circuitry, analog has increasingly had to cope with processes that have become less favorable to them. But that may be changing We live in an analog world, and yet ...
