What is analog computing and how is it used? What is digital computing and how is it used? Why both methods provide promising results, depending on the application. The unveiling of intelligent ...

My first job out of college was testing and debugging control loading systems on flight simulators for 747 and the “new” 767 airliners. In the late 1970s, the control loop that simulated the feel of ...

When the phrase ‘analog to digital conversion’ is used, we tend to assume that the conversion is taking something continuous like sound or video and making it discrete so that digital computers can ...

(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, ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

You don’t need 0s and 1s to perform computations, and in some cases it’s better to avoid them. Computing today is almost entirely digital. The vast informational catacombs of the internet, the ...

Analog vs. Digital: What’s the Difference? Air temperature, sound loudness,light intensity—in nature, all of these quantities vary smoothly and continuously over a range. Such quantities is called ...

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 ...
