Lesson 2

Analog vs. Digital Circuits


Outline

•• Analog CircuitAnalog Circuit• Digital Circuit


Analog circuit Features• More close to physical system and

physical values• Capabilities of representing

directly a physical value. For example, the value of temperature, wind, speed or rotation by a corresponding voltage or current or frequency or phase angle.


Analog circuit Feature• Faster speed due to lesser number

of components needed to represent a physical value


Analog circuit Disadvantage• Noise in voltage or current does

matter because an output or input is measured in terms of a value of voltage or current or frequency or phase.


Analog circuit Disadvantage• Logical values are reflected by a

complex analog to digital conversion circuit


Analog circuit Disadvantage• A circuit shows the deviation with

time due to change in circuit temperature or changes in physical condition


Outline

• Analog Circuit• Digital Circuit


Digital circuit Features• More close to logic and number

systems and a logic state has a definiteness and thus the circuit inputs and outputs have preciseness and reliability


Digital circuit Feature• Capabilities of logical decisions

and arithmetic, logic and Boolean operations


Digital circuit Feature• Noise in voltage or current does not

matter because an output or input is measured in terms of its logic state(s), not in terms of a value of the Voltage or current or frequency


Digital circuit Disadvantage• The circuits have high

complexities. To represent a big decimal number, the large number of components needed.


Digital circuit Disadvantage• Physical values are reflected by a

complex digital to analog conversion circuit


Digital circuit Disadvantage• Slower speed due to greater

number of components needed to represent a state. For example, a bipolar junction transistor as inverter will act faster than a circuit in TTL inverter.


Summary


• Digital circuits are circuits for logic and number systems and a logic state has a definiteness and thus the circuit inputs and outputs have preciseness and reliability

•


• Analog circuits are affected by noise and surrounding physical conditions changes
