Planet Analog Editor's Note: You may think that there is little or nothing new to say about analog design, except that the new ICs keep getting better: more precise, reduced drift, and lower power ...

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 ...

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...

Today’s electronic chips are commonly comprised of a mix of analog, RF, and digital components, with increasing functionalities, complexities, and numbers of transistors reaching the trillions. While ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Analog and power projects present challenges you must overcome and tradeoffs that have to be made to achieve optimal results. When embarking on analog and power-supply ...

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the impact of heterogeneous integration on in-house analog tools, and how that is changing the design process, with Mo Faisal, ...

Future models of consumer goods, from digital cameras to MP3 players, could take a leap forward with a new type of analog circuit demonstrated at a trade show Thursday by researchers from the ...

To start, I am not a career analog design engineer. I have worked for years as an analog/RF design engineer, including a stint in analog/mixed-signal IC design and layout. I also studied control ...
