Analog PCB | Mad PCB

Analog is a representation of an object that resembles the original. Analog devices monitor conditions, such as movement, temperature, and sound, and convert them into “analogous” electronic or mechanical patterns. For example, an analog watch represents the planet’s rotation with the rotating hands on the watch’s face. Analog telephones turn voice vibrations into electrical vibrations of the same shape. Analog implies a continuous signal in contrast with digital, which breaks everything into numbers. Analog video cameras scan their viewing area a line at a time and convert the infinitely varying intensities of red, green, and blue (RGB) light into analogous electrical signals. See sampling.
