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 ...

At one time a scientist or engineer trying to solve a tough problem with electronic computation had the choice of an analog computer, a digital computer, or both together in a hybrid configuration.

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.

An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

I was doing some reminiscing about my college days and comparing to what is being taught today. One of the things that I clearly see is that schools focus more on the digital side of electronic design ...

We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that can do ...

Okika Devices today announces it has won the “Best in Show” award for its SoC Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) board and chip. Presented to David Czajkowski, President of Okika Devices, the ...

In part 1, we looked at some preliminary concepts of what quantum computing is and how it compares with analog computing. Let's continue the analysis. I contacted Dr. Ned Allen, chief scientist at ...

Analog computers have been used extensively in the past, for things like tide calculations, but in the semiconductor era things have mostly gone digital. Even where you have analog elements, like DRAM ...

When your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. That’s an old saying and perhaps somewhat obvious, but our tools do color our solutions and sometimes in very subtle ways. For ...
