Nu Horizon to distribute Anadigm FPAAs
Anadigm has entered a global distribution agreement under which Nu Horizons will distribute Anadigm's FPAAs throughout North and South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.
Anadigm, the programmable analog company, and Nu Horizons Electronics Corp, a leading distributor of high-technology active components, have announced that they have entered a global distribution agreement under which Nu Horizons will distribute the full line of Anadigm's field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) throughout North and South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region The analog equivalent of a field programmable gate array (FPGA), Anadigm's FPAAs provide designers with off-the-shelf programmable ICs that can be used instead of discretes or ASICs to implement analog signal processing functions quickly and cost-effectively

Software puts standard filters on analogue arrays
Anadigm has added filter synthesis to its field-programmable analogue array (FPAA) configuration software.
Putting applications such as analog filtering, sensor conditioning, and basic PID control under software control, FPAAs can be reconfigured during development, in the field, or on-the-fly by an embedded microcontroller within the end system.
Using AnadigmDesigner EDA software tools, users can fully simulate an analog design and immediately download it to the FPAA for testing and validation.
Anadigm's RangeMaster products make the process of defining and debugging the analog front end of RFID readers much faster than traditional design techniques, and its SonicMaster products for audio applications answer the demand for real-time, reprogrammable signal processing.
