Analog

Being continuous or having continuous values.

Digital

Related to digits or discrete quantities; having a set of discrete values.

Binary

Having two values or states; describes a number system that has a base of two and utilizes 1 and 0 as its digits

Bit

A binary digit, which can be a 1 or a 0.

Hysteresis

provides robustness and stability to systems, ensuring that changes in input variables do not immediately trigger undesired or erratic responses. By introducing thresholds and memory of previous states, hysteresis allows for more reliable operation and noise immunity in various applications.
