for a Field-Programmable Analog Array

The AN10E40 brings to analog what FPGAs brought to digital; extremely rapid production and prototype circuit realization with field re-programmability. The AN10E40 consists of a 4 x 5 matrix of fully configurable switched capacitor cells, enmeshed in a fabric of programmable interconnect resources. These programmable features are directed by an on-chip SRAM configuration memory. The SRAM configuration memory is initialized on power up via an off chip serial PROM or through the AN10E40’s standard microprocessor peripheral interface. A configuration memory image is easily constructed using the companion AnadigmDesigner software which includes an extensive library of adjustable, proven, pre-built functions. The configurable analog blocks are often consumed one at a time, though some of the more complex library functions may consume two or more blocks. Specialized IO cells surround the core to bring your analog signals in and out of the array. The AN10E40 coupled with the intuitive AnadigmDesigner software gives both digital and analog designers a competitive advantage in designing analog circuits that can’t really be compared to any other design system in existence. Quickly constructed, accurate, drift free, temperature compensated and programmable analog circuits are now yours. Imagine the power of programmable with the versatility of analog.
