mixed-signal circuits
Mixed-signal circuits are electronic systems that handle both analog signals, which are continuous and represent real-world data like sound or temperature, and digital signals, which are discrete and used for processing and computation in devices like computers. These circuits enable devices to convert real-world information into digital form, process it, and then convert it back to analog form if needed. They are essential in applications such as smartphones, medical devices, and communication systems, ensuring seamless interaction between the real world and digital electronics through efficient signal conversion and processing.
