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 ...

Analog and mixed-signal design are an essential part of modern electronics. At Agile Analog, we often hear that digital design engineers find integrating analog components can be a daunting task. So, ...

Many applications require a method of switching an analog or a digital signal on or off under digital control. A “wish list” of specifications for such a switch might include attenuation of less than ...

Many microcontroller-based systems have both analog and digital signals. Even those that appear to be entirely digital aren't because of analog effects such as ringing and crosstalk. Thus, you often ...

Broadcasters seeking to implement digital television (DTV) know that it is critically important to introduce this service in the timeliest and most cost-efficient manner without reducing the ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...

With a new breed of analog/mixed-signal foundries arriving on the scene, fabless and fab-lite companies can create a huge variety of high-yielding designs. As a result, these fabless and fab-lite ...

TV shows were replaced by the hiss of static in perhaps 1 million U.S. homes Friday as stations ended their analog broadcasts and abandoned the transmission technology in use since the days of Milton ...
