<3 this! I was in a debate with a few people a week or two ago regarding digital / analog circuits… I don’t remember who now [I could look it up] – but this is right up my alley here. Glad to see some work being done in this direction. This is a pragmatic solution to a very real problem. Glad they’re doing it and hope there’s some work that ends up in production. [that a company gets smart and says “oh we need a piece of that!] so that it can get beyond the lab.

Hope this gets beyond the lab. “Been saying this for years”. [and I can prove it if anybody doubted].
It’s like mixing flour and water. You don’t just dump them together. You do it a little at a time and stir.
Mixing analog and digital circuitry like this is following a similar patterns. Just a little bit together and stir so it mixes properly.
Hopefully they find production value in this so that researchers, business and consumers can benefit from the additional “breathing room” this can provide. [while this seems to be for limited use as presented, it can have MUCH wider applicability. William Kuch won’t be surprised at this for example]
Thank you Steve Messina for this awesome find!
