I took a Computer Logic Design class in college, so when I stumbled upon the Ksimus Circuit Simulator, I was intrigued. At the risk of waxing nostalgic, I remember what it was like to build circuits ...

Analog vs. Digital: What’s the Difference? Air temperature, sound loudness,light intensity—in nature, all of these quantities vary smoothly and continuously over a range. Such quantities is called ...

Advances in digital electronic circuits have prompted the boost in functions and ever smaller size of such popular consumer goods as digital cameras. But the same cannot be said of the older analog ...

The cult of DSPism believes that eventually there will be essentially no analog circuits, that all circuitry will be either digital, as microcontrollers (μCs), with mixed-technology ADCs and DACs.

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 ...

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, ...

Last year, Silicon Valley startup Movellus started selling tools that automate the painstaking process of creating certain analog SoC components. This year, the company is trying to attract more ...

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 ...

Figure 1: Positive-feedback linearization of gene circuits for wide-dynamic-range analog computation. Cells were then diluted fourfold into a new 96-well plate containing fresh ×1 PBS and immediately ...
