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 ...

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 ...

Irvine, Calif.— Microsemi Corp. has developed an SMBus to analog interface device that digitizes analog signals for use with digital microprocessors. Designated the LX1800, the interface device can be ...

The circuits presented here use ananalog switch—such as a DG419or one-third of a CD4053—to combinean analog signal with a standard PWMsignal. Most microcontrollers can easilygenerate the PWM signal.

Gene-based circuits are about to get decidedly more sophisticated. MIT scientists have developed a method for integrating both analog and digital computing into those circuits, turning living cells ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

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 ...

In the early '90s, many pessimists predicted that CMOS would hit a wall as it approached 100-nm and lower gate lengths toward the end of the century. But CMOS processes steadily marched forward, ...
