Starting with a first-principles approach based on the underlying physics of the circuit, we move on to determine the accuracy of the resulting model through electrical circuit prototyping and ...

For almost 20 years, researchers and semiconductormanufacturers have been trying to developa practical analog BIST (built-in self-test) formixed-signal ICs. By enabling mixed-signal ICtesting on ...

Analog computing stands apart from digital systems in some interesting ways. Instead of crunching numbers through step-by-step algorithms and binary logic, analog computers model problems by ...

This project simulates the behavior of a second-order mechanical system using analog computation. We implemented a mass-spring-damper system using op-amp-based circuits, including summers, integrators ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

According to Satya Nadella, a breakthrough in analog optical computing has been published in Nature, highlighting new methods to solve complex real-world problems with significantly greater efficiency ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

According to research cited by Nature and Smithsonian Magazine, the Antikythera Mechanism is recognized as the earliest known analog computer, dating back to around 100 BCE. It used intricate gears to ...
