Anadigm - formerly Anadyne Microelectronics - has launched a development and evaluation board for field programmable analogue arrays (FPAAs).
Software puts standard filters on analogue arrays
Anadigm has added filter synthesis to its field-programmable analogue array (FPAA) configuration software.
Combining powerful new EDA software, configurable analogue modules (CAMs), and advanced FPAAs, Anadigmvortex reduces the time required for analogue design implementations from months to minutes.
With Anadigm's second-generation product family, users can design and implement circuits using the intuitive AnadigmDesigner 2 software.
Time to solution is drastically reduced compared with an analogue ASIC or discrete implementation, and designers can update the circuit functionality in real time using automatically generated C-code.
Dynamic reconfigurability enables real-time reload of new device configurations, allowing the device operation to be "time-sliced".
System integrity is also preserved through manipulation of the tuning or the construction of any part of the circuit without interrupting operation of the FPAA.
A panel of EDN's technical editors selected finalists for the 2002 Innovation of the Year Awards in 17 categories.
Award winners will be determined by EDN readers through an online ballot on the EDN website (www.edn.com), where reviewer comments for each product have been posted.
The results of the ballot are to be announced at an awards ceremony on 22nd April and published in the 1st May issue of EDN.
A trial copy of AnadigmDesigner 2 is available for free download from the Anadigm website.
