A slew of recent ICs proves that, despite the hopes of digital designers, the real world demands obedience to its analog reality. Proving this fact, the LT5504 RF power detector from Linear Technology ...

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.

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

San Francisco, Calif.—Here's a new board-level four-channel analog and digital waveform generator plug-in that can let you create arbitrary waveshapes that are synchronized with logic-level outputs.

Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored whether ...

Acromag has released the QMC730, a multifunction I/O module in the VITA 93 QMC small form factor (26×78.25mm) that combines ...

Most engineers have known for years that microcontrollers are the best choice in building new digital products. Legacy TTL and CMOS functional logic devices gave way to single-chip MCUs years ago. Yet ...
