Analog v/s Digital Circuits

Analog

  • All physical quantities are analog.
  • Analog means that the quantity can take any value between its minimum value and maximum value.
  • Example :
    i) Temperature, can take any value[-1,12.8,25.002,... etc.].
    ii) Sine waves are analog.

Digital

  • Digital means that the quantity can take specific levels of values with specific offset between each other.
  • Example :
    i) English alpha consists of 26 letter, there is no letter between A and B.
    ii) Square waves are Digital.
