[email protected]Analog Vs Digital
Digital circuits operate using digital, discrete signals. These circuits are usually made of a combination of transistors
and logic gates and, at higher levels, microcontrollers or other computing chips
Most of the fundamental electronic components -- resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, and operational
amplifiers -- are all inherently analog
Fig 1 Class B Analog Audio Amplifier
• Amplifier – magnitude scaling
• Oscillator – waveform generation
• Filter – removing unwanted signals
• Wave shaping circuits – changing the shape of the wave form
• Converters : Digital – Analog: ADC, DAC
DC – AC : rectifier, Inverter
DC – DC : buck, boost converters
AC(freq 1) – AC(freq 2): Cyclo converter
