The analog computer of decades-gone-by is something many of us younger engineers never got the chance to experience first hand. It’s pretty much a case of reading about them on these fine pages or ...

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 ...

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

Traditionally, the packaged integrated circuit (IC) has been much larger than the IC itself because standard packages must also contain the lead-frame and bond wires. That wasn’t an issue for decades ...

In industrial automation and process control applications, the analog output module transmits analog signals (voltage or current) that operate controls such as hydraulic actuators, solenoids, and ...

Back in September this year, I wrote a blog on analog computing for AI applications. This followed from ongoing efforts by a few organizations to use analog computing hardware and systems in a ...

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 ...

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) released today a synchronous demodulator with the industry’s best combination of integration, performance, flexibility and power ...
