Success with this experiment has been a very exciting experience for me as it represents the ability to build a simple homemade active semiconductor device. It is almost like making your own homemade transistor. This is an actual realization of some very old, and esoteric 1920′s experiments, by W.H. Eccles, Greenleaf Pickard and Oleg...

One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by digital logic. These designs take advantage of the stability and algorithmic capabilities of digital logic to control traditional analog circuitry. Because digital logic can be easily modified throughout a design cycle, it is often preferable to keep most of the...
