If a circuit board includes analog circuits, we also like to focus on those for an EMC board review. Similar to voltage regulators (discussed in the previous posting), analog circuits can also cause ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

There is a long gap between engineering college and mid career in a non-engineering position, but technology marches on so a simple method of keeping abreast with the latest developments is required.

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 ...

Analog circuitry is usually a small part of a large SoC, but it does not scale in the same way as digital circuitry under Moore’s Law. The power consumed by analog is becoming an increasing concern, ...

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 ...

SEATTLE -- Portable phones that fit in your ear or Dick Tracy's two-way wrist TV are still science fiction for a simple reason: Until now, Moore's Law has only applied to digital circuits. Intel ...
