The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

This application note reviews a circuit technique that is used to create an analog signal output using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The paper explains the theory and provides some circuit examples.

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely analog board or a purely digital system? What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely ...

Today it seems that everything electronic is digital—a reasonable assumption considering it’s hard to find a turnable knob anywhere and values are displayed in digits everywhere. The underlying ...
