    I’m not sure with that information if internally they are analog or not. But at least it sounds like smart limit switches, which it does make sense to be more efficient than having a computer monitoring a signal and comparing it to the desired value.

      This impressed me:

      In August, IBM unveiled a prototype of a low-power analog chip designed specifically for speech recognition — it was able to detect 12 “wake words” more quickly and just as accurately as a digital system.

      I’m always wary of extraordinary claims (Theranos and all) but this could potentially be interesting.
