The importance and market of analog semiconductors growing

|
The world is full of analog signals and remain so. However for the digital electronics computing world, it's full of digital signals except that at the input and output interface. Compared to how we human beings process data, the digital electronics process it in a weird way with much of number crunching. With the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) computing, combination of both analog computing and digital computing to play a role in future systems. Analog role in future computing to increase and to become key diffrentiator. In that way Analog IC design to become more important not as signal chain processing but more of analog computing. Thousands of ADCs and DACs or some form of analog data processing and storing tech to drive along with analog comparators. Just like the brain handle a picture data, each pixel to get analyzed at the stored memory by using a concept called computing in memory concept. There are startups exclusively working in this area. Picture recognition, voice recognition to leverage this technology in offering real time recognition of images and voice in a smaller semiconductor at lower power and with less latency. The world is analog and much of the reading and analyzing is done through simple matching of analog signal. Digital involves conversions and huge digital computing, where as analog is direct. Can analog circuit be fed with two l...
