چکیده
In this paper we present a novel RAM-based field programmable mixedsignal integrated device consisting of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a set of programmable and interconnectable analog cells, and a microprocessor core. This processor can run general purpose user programs, handle the dynamic reconfiguration of the programmable blocks and probe in real time internal digital and analog signals. The device is especially suitable for development and fast prototyping of mixed signal integrated applications.

Feasible Evolutionary and Self-Repairing Hardware by Means of the Dynamic Reconfiguration Capabilities of the FIPSOC Devices
In this paper we shall address the paradigms of evolutionary and selfrepairing hardware using a new family of programmable devices, called FIPSOC (Field Programmable System On a Chip). The most salient feature of these devices is the integration on a single chip of a programmable digital section, a programmable analog section and a general-purpose microcontroller. Furthermore, the programmable ...

متن کاملThe Role of Dynamic Reconfiguration for Implementing Artificial Neural Networks Models in Programmable Hardware
In this paper we address the problems posed when Artificial Neural Networks models are implemented in programmable digital hardware. Within this context, we shall especially emphasise the realisation of the arithmetic operators required by these models, since it constitutes the main constraint (due to the required amount of resources) found when they are to be translated into physical hardware....
متن کاملApproaching Evolvable Hardware to Reality: The Role of Dynamic Reconfiguration and Virtual Meso-structures
In this paper we shall address the possibility of incorporating a new degree of freedom in the design of electronic systems. It consists of providing the ability to evolve its internal meso-structure while in operation. This new design strategy is allowed by the features included in a new family of FPGA devices, which is called FIPSOC (Field Programmable System On a Chip). Besides a programmabl...
