We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Analogue output",
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 Reference design supports universal DVD players from
Broadcom Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "The BCM7440 continues to be the industry's only single-chip solution that fully supports the demanding requirements of both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD standards".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Miniature switch protects against overtemperature from
Texas Instruments (April 2006-): "The tiny size of the device makes it an attractive option for power supply systems, DC/DC modules, thermal monitoring and electronic protection systems".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Cypress Semiconductor
concerning its PSoC CapSense
- take a look at Pioneering use for touch sensors in home audio
which says: "Super Audio CD receiver and speaker systems uses a single PSoC CapSense device to implement six buttons, manage analogue output to the host and control LEDs".
Take a look also at the news release from United Electronic Industries, Analogue output board provides 32 16bit channels,
as well as I/O module offers noise immunity from Acces I/O Products,
and Joystick provides tactile feedback from Aerco.
