A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

Nostalgia is all the rage these days; that’s why a ton of movies and TV shows are reboots or remakes of what was popular in the 1980s and ’90s. Normally, this walk down memory lane is meant to delight ...

While the movie theatrical business continues to bleed from multiple stab wounds like inflation, post-pandemic skittishness, ...

For much of my career, I have been drawn to complex systems. The kind of work that sits beneath the surface but keeps everything else moving. Think supply chains, logistics and the operational ...

IP video is the "buzz" of the video surveillance industry, and it certainly does have a number of clear advantages. However, while the future is likely to be networked video, the present is most ...

Why do we have so many analog ports, and do we need them? This question continues to come up repeatedly in our conversations with clients. Analog telephones use standard copper wire, connect to plain ...

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.

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

Could analog artificial intelligence (AI) hardware – rather than digital – tap fast, low-energy processing to solve machine learning’s rising costs and carbon footprint? Researchers say yes: Logan ...

I admit the title “analog debugging” is a bit enigmatic. After reading it, an embedded firmware developer may suffer from cognitive dissonance, but trust me, it will make sense later. What the title ...

One of the biggest selling points of a microcontroller (MCU) is the peripherals—integrated blocks of specialized hardware that offload a task from the central processing unit (CPU) or integrate new ...
