Notebook A Closer Look Without Analog.. It won t TURN ON! The screen won t DISPLAY! Many other functions won t WORK (In case the 1st 2 problems weren t bad enough) Analog Inside
Analog is Everywhere Analog Semiconductor ICs
Answers to the 2 Big Questions 1) The World is Going Digital, Right? Yes 2) So Why am I Talking About Analog? Because the World s Going Digital But it needs Analog to get there!
