I finally managed to get to a book that has been on my “to read” list for quite a while: “Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constant” (2022) by James Vincent ...

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, ...

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 ...

Designers may now add a high-accuracy, 4-channel analog output to their industrial automation designs with 33% fewer components than competitive designs. Simply use the Alameda (MAXREFDES24#) ...

These tradeoffs include bandwidth, input drive, impedance, and performance. The topology is also important, i.e., amplifier versus transformer coupled input as well as the ADC’s architecture, buffered ...

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 ...

Advanced chip design is becoming a great equalizer for analog and digital at each new node. Analog IP has more digital circuitry, and digital designs are more susceptible to kinds of noise and signal ...

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 ...
