Analog IC’s
Analog Integrated Circuits are the backbone of modern electronics, designed to process continuous signals such as sound, light, temperature, and radio waves. Unlike digital ICs that operate on binary (0 and 1), analog ICs manage varying voltage levels to provide precise amplification, filtering, and regulation. They are essential for bridging the gap between the physical world and digital processing systems.
