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.

Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

A single chip that integrates optical and electronic analog computing modules provides a strategy for creating all-analog computing processors with a speed and energy efficiency that are several ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

[Janis Alnis] wanted to build an analog computer circuit and bought some multiplier chips. The first attempt used apparently fake chips that were prone to overheating. He was able to get it to work ...

In the azure waters off the coast of Antikythera, Greece, a chance discovery in the early 20th century transformed our understanding of ancient technology. A sponge diver, exploring the remnants of a ...

The increasing consumer demand for smaller electronic devices has been pushing the semiconductor technology roadmap to smaller process nodes over the last decade. Today’s consumers demand high-quality ...

Characterized as an ancient analog computer, the object was probably used to predict planetary positions, moon phases, and eclipses. Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge ...
