The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

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.

Billions of smart devices rely on sensor data to gather intelligence. Most smart devices use a “digitize-first” model to digitize all sensor data immediately, sending data to high-power digital ...

Back in September this year, I wrote a blog on analog computing for AI applications. This followed from ongoing efforts by a few organizations to use analog computing hardware and systems in a ...

Key differences in analog vs. digital features. Applications where each type of multimeter is best suited. Multimeters, from small handheld to more sophisticated benchtop models, are indispensable ...

Oscilloscopes provide critical signal visibility for debugging, testing, and ensuring that electronic systems match developers’ imaginations. Specifying when the oscilloscope captures information ...

The world is flat…screened. According to the International Telecommunication Union, 81% of the developed world is online. And Global Digital reports more than half of the world’s web traffic comes ...

When old tech dies, it usually stays dead. No one expects rotary phones or adding machines to come crawling back from oblivion. Floppy diskettes, VHS tapes, cathode-ray tubes—they shall rest in peace.

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...
