I can see that digital design = AND gate, OR Gate, Gates made up from transisters, millions of transisters in a square mm, FPGAs, chips. Designing at gate levels, things so small you can't see, like the FPGA, so small, but weeks of coursework design fits in...
whereas analog, I usually visual it as visible resisters, capitors and inductors, big transisters, big circuits...one lap work was to build an AM receiver, I can see things are pretty big.....
However, from lecture courses about Analog circuits later, we were taught to do calculations on these amplifiers, differential pair, filters, current mirrors, etc... which seem to be working with a lot of transisters, and transisters are very small and resister, capacitors are very big, I'm confused... are there very small transisters for digital and very big transisters for analog?
Please someone help me a little bit here with this one.
