It seems as though analog doesn't mean what it used to mean. It seems as though it is a stand-in for physical these days. The physical thing you make may be analog, yet it could very well be digital. The important thing is the product is physical, rather than being a bundle of bits that you ship to someone else who takes care of the hardware it runs on. The tone of the article leads me to think that this is what the author is talking about.
- kragen 2y agoThe author is explicitly talking about designing analog electronics: > Among them are IoT nodes, sensors and front-ends, actuators including motors, test and measurement instrumentation, boards and interconnects, line drivers/receivers, motor drivers, physical-level wired/wireless links, MEMS devices, RF functions, power sources and systems, EMI, noise, thermal extremes…and that’s just a partial list. These roles and functions are not going away as long as the laws of physics, as we know them, remain in place.
