Mixed-signal designs combine the most powerful features and advantages of both analog and digital circuitry. One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by ...

Researchers at RIT have improved the electronics used in communication and radar systems to better process signals using electromagnetic radio waves. This breakthrough could advance computing ...

Analog vs. Digital: What’s the Difference? Air temperature, sound loudness,light intensity—in nature, all of these quantities vary smoothly and continuously over a range. Such quantities is called ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what’s changing in analog design with the shift toward heterogeneous integration and more safety- and mission-critical applications with Mo Faisal, ...

Several years ago, analog and mixed signal (AMS) content hit a wall. Its contribution to first-time chip failure doubled, and there is no evidence that anything has improved dramatically since then.

What is an analog front-end (AFE)? Why use an AFE? AFE tradeoffs in energy-meter design. Sensors provide analog signals that need to be converted to digital values via analog-to-digital converters ...
