In most cases, a digital designer is unconcerned with transistor- or even circuit-level issues. By contrast, analog design is performed at a very low level of abstraction, traditionally the transistor ...

Ksimus is a circuit simulator that allows you to build digital and analog circuits with discrete components and simulate them in real time. Ksimus does have its limitations though.

The eight main classes of general-purpose analog ICs are:- ADCs (analog-digital converters); amplifiers; analog switches; comparators; DACs (digital-analog converters); various RF circuits including ...

Since analog circuits refuse to obey Moore's Law, logic designers are taking matters into their own hands to take full advantage of CMOS process shrinks. By replacing analog functions with digital ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified ...

As digital scaling requirements and the semiconductor technology roadmap push ICs to more advanced nodes, the analog blocks follow the same power reduction paradigm as the digital ...

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, ...

There have never been many shortcuts in analog circuit design. Analog engineering is often described as more of an art than digital design. Analog circuits have to be carefully constructed from a ...

While we’d be the last to campaign against digital electronics, it is fascinating to consider just how much can be done with analog electronics and a bit of mathematics.

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...

In digital circuits, by contrast, accurate I-V modeling is the primary concern. For example, the parasitic pnp in an npn transistor or the parasitic npn in a double-tubbed lateral NMOS device can be ...
