Learn programmable analogue technology
online
Now systems designers can get personalised distance training in a programmable analogue technology.
Now systems designers can get personalised distance training in a programmable analogue technology that accelerates product engineering, bring products to market faster, and creates new capabilities that translate into a competitive edge Beginning this month, Anadigm is launching an online personal training programme that will provide participants with a hands-on, small-group setting in which they can start designing and implementing complex analogue circuits with field programmable analogue arrays (FPAAs)

Development board for programmable analogue arrays
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.
The analogue equivalent to the FPGA, FPAAs from Anadigm are programmable ICs that put analogue circuits under software control - and thus in the hands of the system designer.
They are also the first analogue ICs on the market that can be controlled, updated, and manipulated by the system processor on the fly.
With FPAAs, designers can dramatically reduce their design cycles while adding new capabilities to their products - such as the ability to be calibrated or updated in the field or to adjust automatically to changing environmental conditions in real time.

Hosted by members of Anadigm's applications team, the online personal training seminars will provide real-time training in the use of the AnadigmDesigner2 EDA tool, which enables drag-and-drop design of user-configurable analogue circuits.
Topics will include FPAA capabilities and applications, the AnadigmPID and AnadigmFilter synthesis tools, and use of the FPAA's dynamic reconfiguration feature, which allows analogue circuits to be dynamically reconfigured.
As part of the curriculum, participants will design and simulate actual programmable circuits and then create dynamic C-code that allows their circuits to be controlled in real time by a system microprocessor.
The online personal training seminar series is organised into three 60- to 90-minute calls held on consecutive days.
In the first class, the Anadigm seminar leader will provide an overview of Anadigmvortex FPAAs, explain how they work, and discuss the applications in which they are most useful.
In the second class, the presentation will focus on the process of configuring FPAAs with AnadigmDesigner2 and the high-level AnadigmPID and AnadigmFilter synthesis tools.
In the final session, participants will learn in more detail how to work with the Anadigmvortex hardware development platform, the FPAA hardware and to dynamically configure FPAAs using AnadigmDesigner2 auto-generated C-code.
Attendance at each online personal training seminar will be limited to facilitate interaction between the participants and moderator.
The seminars are free, but advance registration is required.
The complete schedule and online registration are available at the Anadigm website.
