Too bad the market is still tough for low-volume FPAA's (vs. FPGA's). A product I was working on last year desperately needed FPAA's in low volumes (think 1k-2k MOQ), and was shelved largely because the lack of market availability.
The design was changed to reflect the lack of availability of a low-volume FPAA at a reasonable price point, but this drove the feature set down and the price up until the product was shelved. Until they make them as easily available and as low-cost and many comparable FPGAs, it's going to be hard to design niche-market products around them.
- TTPrograms 12y agoWhat's the difference between a FPAA and the programmable analog blocks on products like Cypress' PSOC? Those chips are pretty common.
- drone 12y agoIn our experience, the primary issues was the available number of analog I/Os, we were doing large-scale matrix-like switching between analog sources. That is to say, the PSoCs contained a small number of analog I/Os that could be routed relative to a "dedicated" FPAA.
