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 ...

Mixed-signal designs combine the most powerful features and advantages of both analog and digital circuitry. One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by ...

Differences between digital and analog triggering. Advantages of digital triggering. How to tell what type of triggering is used by an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope’s trigger function, which ...

Analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit design typically involves designing components like amplifiers, filters and data converters, which can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring manual ...

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 ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what’s changing in analog design with the shift toward heterogeneous integration and more safety- and mission-critical applications with Mo Faisal, ...

Researchers at RIT have improved the electronics used in communication and radar systems to better process signals using electromagnetic radio waves. This breakthrough could advance computing ...

Does upsampling in digital audio actually improve DAC performance, or just make lower quality files look like high resolution audio?

We live in an analog world, but analog has been minimized whenever possible. At some point digital and analog must come together in every electronic device, and that has long been an area where errors ...
