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.

Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

Lately, many electronics observers rave over massive digital chips, and for a good reason. Incredible things happen when billions of tiny transistors, each a few nanometers wide, work together. These ...

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 ...

Researchers from Peking University say their resistive random-access memory chip may be capable of speeds 1,000 faster than ...

The analog computer of decades-gone-by is something many of us younger engineers never got the chance to experience first hand. It’s pretty much a case of reading about them on these fine pages or ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

We generally use our electronic gadgets without thinking, expecting them to understand our operating environment, read our commands correctly and store, retrieve and process the information we throw ...

Differences between digital and analog triggering. Advantages of digital triggering. How to tell what type of triggering is used by an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope’s trigger function, which ...
