FAQs About Analog and Digital Design
Your questions about mixed-signal engineering, answered.
What is the main difference between analog and digital design?
Digital design deals with discrete signals (0s and 1s) and is used for logic and computation. Analog design deals with continuous signals (like voltages from a sensor) and is used to interface with the real world.
What is a mixed-signal design?
A mixed-signal design is any chip that contains both analog and digital circuits. Most modern SoCs are mixed-signal, requiring data converters (ADCs/DACs) to communicate between the two domains.
Do I need to be an expert in both to get a job?
While most engineers specialize in either analog or digital design, a strong foundational understanding of both is highly valuable and makes you a more effective team member in any asic design company.
