The Thursday Analog Quiz: A Tale of 100 Episodes!
It all started a couple of years ago! I was driving with Islam Nashaat to our new startup Master Micro , when I told him that I want to start a series of weekly analog quizzes on our LinkedIn and Facebook pages. There are lots of quizzes out there for the software folks, but I rarely see good analog quizzes. There are lots of textbook problems out there, but they are not the type of questions that you really see in an interview. As a student, professor, designer, and manager, I felt there is a need for a series of interview-like questions that can be solved by intuition or with back-of-the-envelope calculations. And now we are celebrating episode no. 100!
ADT is Here!
The Thursday Analog Quiz series started even before the Analog Designer's Toolbox (ADT) itself! ADT beta version was released with episode no. 20. We celebrated this occasion with a design challenge that can be only solved using ADT. The winner received a full ADT license! Now with 100 episodes in the series, the celebration is much bigger!

The Thursday Analog Quiz series attracted lots of interactions from the analog community. It is great to see a diverse set of people from different countries and at different experience levels debating about the answer! I got feedback from several professors worldwide that they are using the quizzes in their analog design classes!
As part of the celebration, we are releasing the 100 episodes in a single file! Download the file using the link below to get all the quizzes, from 1 to 100!

9 个月Those questions are great. I could cut through only a few but just those gave me a good tricky feel by reminding me the need to approach the concepts in a different way. By the way is there a post or a place where I can go check the key to clarify the doubts regarding the questions in the quiz ?
