Abstract

Analog and digital circuits have long been the foundation of electronics, processing continuous and discrete signals, respectively. This review explores the fundamentals of both disciplines, highlighting key components, techniques, challenges, and considerations in their design. Analog circuits, crucial for signal conditioning and amplification, require meticulous attention to noise, stability, and component characteristics. Digital circuits, essential for computation and data processing, demand precision timing, logic integrity, and efficient power utilization. As technology advances, the boundary between analog and digital designblurs, presenting opportunities for integrated solutions but also raisingcomplexity. The convergence of analog and digital functionalities offers unprecedented opportunities but requires engineers to address new challenges in mixed-signal integration, compatibility, and verification. Understanding both analog and digital design principles is increasingly vital in shaping the future of electronics.
