In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

(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, ...

Where digital and analog designs are overlapping, and why it’s becoming more difficult to ensure they work as expected over their lifetimes. Pujol: We need some abstraction because we cannot ...

Advanced chip design is becoming a great equalizer for analog and digital at each new node. Analog IP has more digital circuitry, and digital designs are more susceptible to kinds of noise and signal ...

Analog design is at a crossroads, and consolidation is all over the map. The recent flurry of mergers and acquisitions begs a simple question: what’s happening in the analog and mixed-signal design ...

To start, I am not a career analog design engineer. I have worked for years as an analog/RF design engineer, including a stint in analog/mixed-signal IC design and layout. I also studied control ...
