High levels of system functionality reached the analog-IC world many years ago. After all, why just have an A/D converter when you can instead have an IC with other needed functions such as ...

In many designs, the differentiator between a circuit that works “pretty well” and one that works “really well” is the addition of modest supervisory and support functions. It’s even better if these ...

The June 23, 1988 issue of EDN included a Maxim Design News insert where we asked “Who in their right mind would choose a computer interface standard that uses ± ...

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 ...

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.
