Spun out of research conducted at Indiana University, Analog Computing Solutons (ACS) develops high-speed and low-power signal processing devices for healthcare applications. The company's technology has applications for hearing aids, prosthetics, neuromodulation, and internet-of-things markets. The company's technology is an Extended Analog Computer (EAC), which represents aradical departure from digital signal processing (DSP). The EAC derives its computational power through a low-power, high-speed analog data path combined with the flexibility of digital configuration. Traditional signal processing technology converts a complex analog signal to digital values, performs mathematical operations and then converts the signal back to an analog waveform. Using an analog data path, the EAC is able to perform these operations in a single, nearly instantaneous step.
