Then I hit signal integrity issues, welcome back analogue... but hang on a minute, why on earth is nearly all the text on this subject alluding to it as some kind of "black magic"?
Where as analog will be more concentrated in the R&D, design and manufacturing of those digital components.
but digital is not trying to do what analog do,
This whole thread is mootSince one meaning of moot is "subject to debate", that's very true.Quotethere is no such thing as digital.That rather depends on the domain of discourse, doesn't it?

But what's a logical 1?
Can you punctuate this so it makes sense? Alan while John had had had had had had had had had had had the better effect on the teacher

Sine wave or square wave? That is the question...
Sine wave or square wave? That is the question...
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The microvolts and megohms of analog design,
Or to just whack in a bigass FPGA,
And by abstraction avoid them? To digitize;
No more; and by a microcontroller to say we end
The measurement and the thousand electric shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To digitize;
To develop: perchance to code: ay, there's the rub;
For in that programming what debugging may come
When we have shuffled off this SMPS coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would build the power supplies,
The transmission lines, the test gear,
... oh, I give up, it's dinner time.
Well if a sine wave is analogue and the square wave is digital. Then Digital can not exist without analogue as a square wave is multiple harmonics of a sine wave.

But, this is only one of the man-made choices for understanding the nature. The alternative is "equally" true. A sine wave can be decomposed as superposition of a series of square waves. Actually it is more intuitive. In essence, that is what a DAC tries to do anyway.
Being a far more common man, limericks seem the order of the day

an ideal square wave can't even exist in an ideal world
The analog style's a way
To build a circuit today
But some day soon to come
We'll hear from some bum
That digital is here to stay.
That day was yesterday...
(Yeah, it's not perfectly accurate, but it rhymes! Just pretend you heard it in 1965...)
