About Analog Devices
Analog Devices designs semiconductors that convert real-world signals such as sound, radio and sensor readings into digital data and back. Its processor lines include SHARC and Blackfin digital signal processors, chips specialised for fast repetitive arithmetic on streams of samples, used in audio, industrial and medical equipment. The company was founded in 1965 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Ray Stata and Matthew Lorber, and is headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts. It agreed to acquire Maxim Integrated in 2020.
Analog Devices was founded in 1965 and is based in Wilmington, MA, United States. It is listed under DSPs, Analog Computing.

What Analog Devices works on
DSPs
A DSP, or digital signal processor, is a processor built to handle streams of real-world data such as audio, radio signals and sensor readings. It takes samples from an analog-to-digital converter and filters, compresses or analyses them in real time.
Analog Computing
Analog computing represents numbers as continuous physical quantities, such as voltage or current, rather than as strings of 0s and 1s. The physics of the circuit does the calculation. For example, Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's current law let a grid of resistors multiply and add numbers at once.
