PAMA-programmable analog multiplexer array

This paper describes PAMA (Programmable Analog Multiplexer Array), a reconfigurable platform for exploring the intrinsic evolution of analog hardware. The reconfigurable platform consists of integrated circuits whose internal connections can be programmed by the user. The platform characteristics are discussed, such as it's flexibility, once the discrete components can be of any type (fine or coarse grained). This latest PAMA version described in this paper presents some advantages concerning the prototype platform which was first used to intrinsically evolve circuits. The Analog Reconfigurable Circuit allows more component terminals, allowing the evolution of a great number of circuits and the circuit evaluation time has decreased considerably.
