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, ...

Comparators are one of the basic building blocks of analog and mixed-signal designs, providing one small but critical function, as their name indicates. Their role is often to be a “simple” safety ...

A new technical paper titled “Generative AI for Analog Integrated Circuit Design: Methodologies and Applications” was published by researchers at McMaster University. “Electronic Design Automation ...

Analysis of this circuit is simplified by the fact that the output has only two states: V out low (Vol) or V out hi (Voh). In this circuit, Voh is equal to the positive supply voltage and Vol is ...

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 ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

Voltage conveyors and current conveyors represent two pivotal active building blocks in contemporary analog circuit design. Their unique signal processing capabilities allow for efficient voltage ...

Low-voltage CMOS analog circuit design has emerged as a critical area of research, driven by the dual imperatives of energy efficiency and high-performance signal processing. This discipline focuses ...

Sunnyvale, Calif. — Advanced Linear Devices, Inc. announced an ultra-sensitive, high-performance electrically programmable analog device (EPAD) analog voltage comparator. Designated the ALD2321, the ...

The ongoing need for intra-circuit interface and limited-functions ICs. How small analog ICs can enable critical transitions and meet specialty roles. In a hard-to-articulate way, it’s somewhat ...
