What are the advantages of FPAAs over conventional analog circuit design?
• Speed of design FPAA circuit design is much faster than previous draw, simulate, breadboard, and test methods. It takes less than a minute to create a simple tone generator, and in another minute you can change it to something else. • Productivity Designers are much more productive using CAD tools with a library of pre-tested circuit functions than by hand designing each function from scratch. • Inventory simplification One FPAA part can be used in many different products. Time, labor, parts cost, and parts inventory management costs are all reduced. • Stability Anadigm FPAAs provide incredibly stable performance over time and over a very wide range of operating temperatures. • Life-cycle cost reduction FPAAs greatly reduce product life-cycle costs associated with changes and maintenance updates. FPAAs replace single function analog ICs subject to obsolescence with a general purpose reprogrammable component. • Design reusability Completed FPAA analog circuit designs are reusable for
