Hardware interfaces that accept non-digital signals. For decades, all the plugs and sockets on traditional audio and video equipment connected analog lines. In addition, the common high-density DB-15 ...

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...

I was doing some reminiscing about my college days and comparing to what is being taught today. One of the things that I clearly see is that schools focus more on the digital side of electronic design ...

Today, most of what we think of as a computer uses digital technology. But that wasn’t always the case. From slide rules to mechanical fire solution computers to electronic analog computers, there ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...

Analog computers have been used extensively in the past, for things like tide calculations, but in the semiconductor era things have mostly gone digital. Even where you have analog elements, like DRAM ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

The XT1230 and XT1240 models provide a 16-channel interface for single-ended analog current or voltage input signals with Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, or i2o peer-to-peer communication. They ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

Makers and computer enthusiasts interested in building their very own analogue computer, may be interested in a new modular analogue computer kit showcased by the grappendorf.net website this week.
