There are many analog devices. Examples include clocks, dimmer switches, and tin can phones. There are also analog and digital storage devices. A digital storage device would be a CD or DVD and an analog storage device would be a cassette tape.

Non-electrical analog devices and electrical analog devices are the two categories of analog devices. Non-electrical analog devices include pendulums, analog watches, clocks, steam engine governors, and acoustic rangefinders. Analog televisions and computers are two examples of electrical analog devices.

Analog devices are a combination of both analog machine and analog media that can together measure, record, reproduce, receive or broadcast continuous information, for example, the almost infinite number of grades of transparency, voltage, resistance, rotation, or pressure.

Analog Devices designs and manufactures solutions and systems that power, sense, measure, interpret, secure, and connect the world around us—enabling our customers to convert physical data into digital transformations everywhere from 5G communications to remote healthcare.
