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 ...

Life, uh, finds a way. And more often than not, that way is analog, not digital. Even the impulse-like action potentials in the brain are more complex than computers’ 1s and 0s — and digital ...

Analog electronics remain the fundamental link between the continuously varying real world and the discrete domain of digital processing. These circuits, which include amplifiers, filters, oscillators ...

The analog input characteristics of analog ICs vary enormously. Some behave like high impedance amplifier inputs, some are purely resistive, some have capacitors switched at high speed, and some, ...

The future of circuit design, encompassing analog, RF/5G, and custom electronic circuits, is set to be revolutionized by the integration of generative AI tools. These advanced tools will not only ...

I had met Professor Franco when I attended, for the first time, the Analog Aficionados dinner which Jim Williams had as an annual event in California. I was immediately drawn to him as I saw him ...

Machine-learning (ML) solutions are proliferating across a wide variety of industries, but the overwhelming majority of the commercial implementations still rely on digital logic for their solution.

A single cell in the human body is approximately 10,000 times more energy-efficient than any nanoscale digital transistor, the fundamental building block of electronic chips. In one second, a cell ...

Let’s take a look at how analog semiconductors stocks fared in Q4, starting with Analog Devices (NASDAQ:ADI). Demand for analog chips is generally linked to the overall level of economic growth, as ...
