In theory, it's pure analog, but inverters in general are switching very high currents. In order to do that switching with transistors, even big power MOSFETs, they need to be either on or off. If they spend a lot of time in transition, which analog implies, the devices overheat and burn up. So a pure sine wave can't be produced directly.
This kind of inverter can be accomplished with a multi-vibrator running at 100 or 120 Hz and a couple of power transistors. It is very straight-forward. Producing a sine wave, however, is much more complicated. In theory, it's pure analog, but inverters in general are switching very high currents.
Using the Arduino Nano to generate the SPWM for a pure sinewave inverter works great. I was able to easily experiment with different frequencies and various feedback and control options. The changes you will need to use this circuit for 220 are very straight forward: 1. You will need use a 220 volt inverter transformer instead of 110 volts. 2.
