Reliability Enhancement of the Analog Computer of Gyroscopic Naval Navigation System Using Integration by Field Programmable Analog Arrays

Analog Predictive Circuit with Field Programmable Analog Arrays

Cooperation of the analog and digital circuits and the embedded controllers as well as their industrial use and technical application has always been in the focus of my interes. In reconfigurable systems the effectiveness and quality of the analog circuit system can be maintained and modified by circuit or by changing the single element values. There are further advantages of the programmable a...

Field-Programmable Analog Arrays Enable Analog Signal Processing Education

In a laboratory environment, the practicality and scope of experiments is often constrained by time and financial resources. In the digital hardware design arena, the development of programmable logic devices, such as field--programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), has greatly enhanced the student’s ability to design and synthesize complete systems within a short period of time and at a reasonable cos...

Application of Floating-gate Transistors in Field Programmable Analog Arrays

ACKNOWLEDGMENT I rarely get an opportunity to formally acknowledge those who have put me on this path. That being the case, I would like to take the opportunity to thank my parents. My father , Harvey Gray, gave me the analytical eye I cherish so much while my mother, Leslie Simmons, showed me how to use it. It is interesting, I suppose, that the only place their marriage ever made sense was wi...

Evolution of Analog Circuits on Field Programmable Transistor Arrays

Evolvable Hardware (EHW) refers to HW design and self-reconfiguration using evolutionary/genetic mechanisms. The paper presents an overview of some key concepts of EHW, describing also a set of selected applications. A fine-grained Field Programmable Transistor Array (FPTA) architecture for reconfigurable hardware is presented as an example of an initial effort toward evolution-oriented devices...
