The dual approach of digital and analog lock-in amplifier technologies has continued to advance the precise extraction of weak signals from noise-laden environments. These devices are indispensable in ...

A rapid increase in wireless connectivity and more sensors, coupled with a shift away from monolithic SoCs toward heterogeneous integration, is driving up the amount of analog/RF content in systems ...

If you came of age in the 1990s, you’ll remember the unmistakable auditory handshake of an analog modem negotiating its connection via the plain old telephone system. That cacophony of screeches and ...

Design innovation in the analog and mixed-signal realm is alive and well, and it’s apparent from the “Silicon 100: Startups to Watch in 2025” report released in July 2025 by AspenCore, which is also ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

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 ...

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...
