Last year, Silicon Valley startup Movellus started selling tools that automate the painstaking process of creating certain analog SoC components. This year, the company is trying to attract more ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

In electronics, a Norton amplifier—also known as a current differencing amplifier (CDA)—is a specialized analog circuit that ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

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 ...

When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
