Development board for programmable analogue arrays
Anadigm - formerly Anadyne Microelectronics - has launched a development and evaluation board for field programmable analogue arrays (FPAAs).
The company has developed a novel technology which addresses a critical issue for the electronics industry, as the demand for analogue circuitry design skills to deal with increasingly complex products is fast outstripping supply.
Anadigm's technology recreates the functionality of analogue components - such as resistors, capacitors, amplifiers and so on - on a single user-definable chip called a field-programmable analogue array (FPAA).
Using software, engineers simply 'drag-and-drop' the analogue function blocks they need into place, and with the click of a button the configuration data is downloaded to the FPAA - producing the required solution.
"We have already built our core team and delivered commercial silicon to customers", says Anadigm's CEO Mike Kay.
"This large funding injection gives us the working capital to develop our organisation fully for international commercial operations, and to implement the next phases of our strategy".
