现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）广泛应用于需要在线可重构信号处理的应用中。当晶体管尺寸缩小到纳米级时，FPGA的速度和功能密度正在增加。不幸的是，为了根据规范可靠地创建电子设计，由于固有可变性的影响，耗时的统计模拟变得必要。本文介绍了一种自适应的，可进化的架构，允许直接在硬件中使用生物启发技术的电路的校正和优化。与FPGA一样，可编程模拟和数字阵列（PAnDA）架构为电路设计提供了数字配置层。底层模拟层的额外配置选项可实现电路特性的连续调整。
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are widely used in applications where on-line reconfigurable signal processing is required. Speed and function density of FPGAs are increasing when shrinking transistor sizes to the nano-scale. Unfortunately, in order to reliably create electronic designs according to specification time-consuming statistical simulations become necessary due to effects of intrinsic variability. This paper describes an adaptive, evolvable architecture that allows for correction and optimisation of circuits directly in hardware using bio-inspired techniques. Like FPGAs, the programmable analogue and digital array (PAnDA) architecture introduced provides a digital configuration layer for circuit design. Accessing additional configuration options of the underlying analogue layer enables continuous adjustment of circuit characteristics.
