Digital circuits have been driving the development of IC technologies for decades and they cover by far the widest share of the IC market. Analog and RF circuits, on the other hand, are essential for implementing crucial functions in electronic systems and require highly qualified and skilled designers. As a result, a widespread opinion is that there will always be demand for competent analog and RF engineers. However, others argue that digital electronics is eventually going to dominate and that the need for analog engineers will be limited. As a result, for the past several decades, the camps of analog and digital engineers have been debating the year in which their opponents' discipline will become obsolete. On top of this there is the common misconception that analog, RF, and power electronics circuit seem to be more of a whimsical art than a systematic science when compared to digital and memory. In this context, what is the best choice for students? Is it worth pursuing the whimsical art of analog electronics, or is it better to focus entirely on digital systems and software? This panel will try to answer these basic questions, exploiting the know-how of top educators and industry experts from both camps.
