Analogue Computing hits the road as editor Andy Turudic uses THe Analog Thing Analog Laptop Computer to simulate an automobile suspension encountering a pothole. Some of you may have already ...

See EDN article “A virtual analog computer for your desktop” for more details. Click here to download a “.zip” file. This kit will allow you to run the analog computer program “Figure 6” in LTspiceIV.

Creation of a single-chip analog/hybrid computer reveals that special analog versions of computers could be used to solve complex problems such as nonlinear differential equations. Just recently, I ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

In the mid 1960's, an undergraduate friend invited me along to a lab where he had to run some “programs” on an analog computer. That sounded interesting. He set up his program with resistors and ...

Scientists have been working toward developing a novel mathematical approach that will help advance computation beyond the digital framework. Your computer performs most tasks well. For word ...

A transistor, conceived of in digital terms, has two states: on and off, which can represent the 1s and 0s of binary arithmetic. But in analog terms, the transistor has an infinite number of states, ...

A device that processes infinitely varying signals, such as voltage or frequencies. A thermometer is a simple analog computer. As the temperature varies, the mercury moves correspondingly. A slide ...
