We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Analogue control",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Programmable LED driver removes need for binning from
Maxim Integrated Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Because of its sophisticated programming capabilities, the MAX16816 overcomes many problems and design limitations in older generation LED drivers".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Lab supplies blend digital and analogue benefits from
TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments): "TTi has designed a hybrid system combining true analogue control knobs with digital internal circuitry".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Powerstax
concerning its N-0275 family
- take a look at Switchers squeeze more into smaller packages
which says: "Ultracompact 275W switch mode power supplies feature digital power management and optional PMBus capability".
Take a look also at the news release from Lambda, Programmable supplies give more from 3U,
as well as High-power LED driver targets automotive uses from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Boards convert analogue video to digital output from Apollo Display Technologies.
