The rapid evolution of electronic system design has underscored the importance of Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) and mixed‐signal systems in achieving flexible, energy‐efficient processing.

This article explores key mixed-signal applications, highlighting the difference between signal-path faults and rail-driven ...

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 ...

Signals are everywhere, even if you don’t think about them much. They’re what make things like streaming a movie, making a phone call, or listening to music possible. But not all signals are created ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wide bandwidth radio transmitters commonly use analog quadrature modulators (AQMs) to convert complex (I + j*Q) baseband signals to radio frequencies (RF). An AQM consists of a local oscillator (LO) ...
