Developing large-scale field-programmable analog arrays for rapid prototyping

Field-programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) provide a method for rapidly prototyping analog systems. While currently available FPAAs vary in architecture and interconnect design, they are often limited in size and flexibility. For FPAAs to be as useful and marketable as modern digital reconfigurable devices, new technologies must be explored to provide area efficient, accurately programmable analo...

FPAA Based on Integration of CMOS and Nanojunction Devices for Neuromorphic Applications

In this paper, a novel field programmable analog arrays (FPAA) architecture, namely, NueroFPAA, is introduced to utilize nanodevices to build a programmable neuromorphic system. By using nanodevices as programmable components, the proposed FPAA can achieve high-density and low-power operations for neuromorphic applications. The routing and function blocks of the FPAA are specifically designed s...

Abstract: We present a novel remote test system, an integrated remote testing system requiring minimal technology support overhead, enabled by configurable analog–digital Integrated Circuits (IC) to create a simple interface for a wide range of experiments. Our remote test system requires no additional setup, resulting both from using highly configurable devices, as well as from the advancement...

Scaling Floating-Gate Devices Predicting Behavior for Programmable and Configurable Circuits and Systems

Abstract: This paper presents scaling of Floating-Gate (FG) devices, and the resulting implication to large-scale Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA) systems. The properties of FG circuits and systems in one technology (e.g., 350 nm CMOS) are experimentally shown to roughly translate to FG circuits in scaled down processes in a way predictable through MOSFET physics concepts. Scaling FG dev...
