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 ...

Mixed-signal designs combine the most powerful features and advantages of both analog and digital circuitry. One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by ...

Teju Das, associate professor of electrical and microelectronic engineering, was elected to the IEEE Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee. The committee is comprised of a select group of ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...

New layout requirements and routing in the nanometer age are forcing a fundamental shift in layout automation techniques. This shift is a move from the traditional gridded approach to placement and ...
