Nothing is digital. Digital is an interpretation of an analog signal. To 
"make an analog signal digital" requires analog components. You have to 
drive the analog signal so it doesn't linger between the fully-on and 
fully-off states (however those may be defined).

And yes, capacitors can be digital in a voltage-driven circuit.
