I took a Computer Logic Design class in college, so when I stumbled upon the Ksimus Circuit Simulator, I was intrigued. At the risk of waxing nostalgic, I remember what it was like to build circuits ...

Analog vs. Digital: What’s the Difference? Air temperature, sound loudness,light intensity—in nature, all of these quantities vary smoothly and continuously over a range. Such quantities is called ...

Since analog circuits refuse to obey Moore's Law, logic designers are taking matters into their own hands to take full advantage of CMOS process shrinks. By replacing analog functions with digital ...

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 ...

Connecting them at only one point. Cutting the ground plane under a mixed signal component Connecting them with capacitors. Segmenting the ground plane in a PCB such that there is only a narrow ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The quest for power reduction in electronic circuits is one of the main drivers of circuit design innovation. Recently, ...

Separating the power/ground connections used for the analog sections from those used for the digital areas will improve the isolation of the power supplies. Adding external/internal filtering should ...
