Why didn’t they do this sooner? That’s the question some embedded engineers designing with microcontrollers (MCUs) are asking about the idea of adding analog signal-chain components in MCUs. With ...

Voltage conveyors and current conveyors represent two pivotal active building blocks in contemporary analog circuit design. Their unique signal processing capabilities allow for efficient voltage ...

Analogue engineering still relies heavily on manual intervention, but that is changing with the growing use of AI/ML.

Analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit design typically involves designing components like amplifiers, filters and data converters, which can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring manual ...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a critical challenge in the design of analogue integrated circuits, where the growing density of components and higher operating frequencies lead to increased ...

Where digital and analog designs are overlapping, and why it’s becoming more difficult to ensure they work as expected over their lifetimes. Pujol: We need some abstraction because we cannot ...

Designing, constructing, testing, and improving circuits—especially those with significant analog content—was always one of my interests. The fact that you could arrange standard active and passive ...

Astrus, a Canada-based startup focusing on analog IC design automation, is aspiring to revolutionize the global chip design industry by leveraging recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI).

Imperial College believes there is still a shortfall in the industry of key engineering skills required for analogue circuit design. The London University college has announced a programme of courses ...
