Analog, Digtal, Hybrid Unit 1

There are three main types of computers: analog computers, which process continuous analog data like temperature directly without conversion; digital computers, which accept and process data in numeric form at high speeds like modern laptops and desktops; and hybrid computers, which have features of both analog and digital computers allowing them to process both continuous analog and discrete digital data, making them useful for applications involving both such as petrol pumps.

Analog, Digital and Hybrid Computers

The basis of Data Handling capability computers are three types:

1. Analogue Computer
2. Digital Computer
3. Hybrid Computer

1. Analogue Computer
Analogue Computers are designed to process the analogue data. Analogue data is
continuous data that changes continuously and cannot have discrete values such as
speed, temperature, pressure and current.

The analogue computers measure the continuous changes in physical quantity and
generally render output as a reading on a dial or scale.

Analogue computers directly accept the data from the measuring device without first
converting it into numbers and codes.

Speedometer and mercury thermometer are examples of analogue computers.

2. Digital Computer
Digital Computer is designed to perform calculations and logical operations at high
speed. It accepts the raw data as digits or numbers and processes it with programs stored
in its memory to produce output. All modern computers like laptops and desktops that we
use at home or office are digital computers.

3. Hybrid Computer
Hybrid Computer has features of both analogue and digital computers. It is fast like
analogue computer and has memory and accuracy like digital computers. It can process
both continuous and discrete data. So it is widely used in specialized applications where
both analogue and digital data is processed. For example, a processor is used in petrol
pumps that converts the measurements of fuel flow into quantity and price.
