Until several years ago, analog was a world apart from digital. Analog engineers could comfortably avoid many of the issues of Moore’s Law, viewing it as a costly bad habit with an equally bad outcome ...

As technology becomes more integrated into our everyday life, our chips need to better communicate with the analog world. Most modern system on chip (SoC) designs therefore contain analog and ...

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 ...

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 ...

You may have heard statements like, “Everything will be digital, and even signal processing is now performed in digital.” Or, “modern semiconductor designs will minimize analog content because you ...

Members can download the PDF ebook. For many years, aficionados of digital circuits and computers have bragged that their rapid advances will leave all analog circuits lying in the dust. The analog ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

Global semiconductor market is projected to be on track to exceed $1 trillion by end of decade, with some indicating this ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...
