Analog electronics remain the fundamental link between the continuously varying real world and the discrete domain of digital processing. These circuits, which include amplifiers, filters, oscillators ...

LED candles are neat, but they’re very suboptimal for wish-making: you can’t blow them out. Unless you take the circuit from ...

An electronic dice is always an enjoyable project, which is easy to implement with some lines of program code on a microcontroller, or with a few digital components. However, implementing an ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

Andy was at the 2026 Analog Aficionados event, held on February 26 at DesignCon at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The who’s who of analog electronics were in attendance at the annual meetup. For ...

The electronic analogue of the push-button switcher allows you to selectively turn on one or another load from several possible ones, while simultaneously disabling the previously turned on load of ...

Many important and valuable planning and scheduling problems in logistics and automation are combinatorial optimization problems. The most famous problem of this type is the traveling salesman problem ...

The end of an earnings season can be a great time to discover new stocks and assess how companies are handling the current business environment. Let’s take a look at how Power Integrations ...

Could analog artificial intelligence (AI) hardware – rather than digital – tap fast, low-energy processing to solve machine learning’s rising costs and carbon footprint? Researchers say yes: Logan ...

IBM Research has published a paper discussing a breakthrough in the use of analogue computing for artificial intelligence (AI) calculations. When building AI systems, the data model needs to be ...

Analog synths are fun because they combine music, which all humans seem hard-wired to enjoy in one form or another, and ...
