When I see "digital" I see things like just how fast or slow '0' becomes '1'
or vice versa. When a single '0' or '1' is about 100 ps this is pretty darn
quick, and you bet your digital ass that it is highly analogue! Capacitance,
inductance, impedance, reflexes, bandwidth, loss, noise injection.....

Oh, and everything is clocked with a "stable" clock source. Ha!

Phase and Frequency is one of the most difficult things to have the digital
guys to understand. Especially when it is not exactly the same, and shifting
around a little etc. The digital guys only see X and X+1 cycles. :(
