Today it seems that everything electronic is digital—a reasonable assumption considering it’s hard to find a turnable knob anywhere and values are displayed in digits everywhere. The underlying ...

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

If you’ve followed my blogs and Twitter posts over the past decades you may already understand this, hopefully remember all the times I’ve explained it. This is after all a forecasting site and a ...

SPICE has been the mainstay tool for analog and RF designers for over 25 years. During that time, analog- and RF-circuit complexity has grown by several orders of magnitude while circuit geometries ...

This white paper explains the general usage of the MRAA APIs that can greatly simplify working with various types of devices, such as: Analog input Digital input and output Pulse width modulation (PWM ...

Although the Altera MAX IIZ CPLD is a digital programmable logic device, it is versatile enough to control analog systems. This article shows how MAX IIZ CPLDs – alone or with a few passive ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...
