I-Corps: Mavric: Commercialization of Analog-Digital Configurable ICs

研究人员开发了大规模现场可编程模拟阵列(FPAA)，使产品能够在可编程和可配置的框架内进行超低功耗计算和计算。该项目计划使用FPAA IC来展示广泛使用的核心信号处理功能，并开始迭代并获得有关性能、功率水平和功能的反馈。FPAA IC的潜在影响可以支持一系列电子设备，所需功耗比当前数字方法低1000倍。这种方法可能会在低功耗电子产品中实现广泛的变化。这项技术的另一个影响将在一系列应用领域为额外的技术增长创造一个生态系统，由可编程和可配置的模拟IC支持，消除了定制模拟IC设计、制造和测试的高成本过程。这种方法使一系列新的方法得以实现，许多应用甚至还没有被设想出来。

Researchers have developed large-scale Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA) that enable products requiring ultra-low-power computation and computing within a programmable and configurable framework. This project plans to use the FPAA ICs to demonstrate core signal processing functionality for widespread use and begin the process of iterating and getting feedback regarding performance, power levels and features.The potential impact from the FPAA ICs could empower a range of electronic devices and require a factor of 1000 times less power consumption than current digital approaches. This approach could enable a wide-spread change in low-power electronics. An additional impact from this technology will create an ecosystem for additional technological growth, in a range of applications spaces, empowered by programmable and configurable analog ICs eliminating the need for highly costly process of custom analog IC design, fabrication, and testing. This approach enables a range of new approaches to be realized, many applications not even envisioned.
