3. Comparison of digital and analog controls

Comparing the two technologies (digital and analog) is tricky, but interesting. Indeed, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and this comparison helps to situate the problem [41] in ( ).

3.1 Limits of analog control and advantages of digital technology

Analog control is criticized for a number of shortcomings. For each one, we indicate the advantage of digital technology.

  • The first pitfall is related to drift caused by phenomena of various origins (thermal, physico-chemical, mechanical). These affect the characteristics of semiconductors, leading to variations in electrochemical capacitor capacities and changes in potentiometer...
