PID
DEVELOPMENT TOLL FOR FPAA
AnadigmPID
is a new EDA tool that fully automates the development of
analog PID control loops. The tool allows you to build an
analog PID control loop on an integrated silicon platform
by merely specifying the top-level control coefficients.
After it’s designed and simulated, the controller circuit
can be immediately downloaded to an FPAA device for testing
and validation.

The
implemented control subsystem can also be controlled in
real time by the embedded system processor, allowing you
to build control loops whose coefficients adjust as the
system moves from startup to quiescent. Benefits include
a major improvement in system performance and new opportunities
for electronics manufacturers to differentiate their systems
with innovative control circuits.
AnadigmPID
is one of a series of AnadigmAssistant tools that automate
the construction of complex analog functions involving multiple
configurable analog modules (CAMs) in AnadigmDesigner2 EDA
software. Abstracting the design process up to the application
level, these intelligent synthesis tools embody design knowledge
of high-level functions and automate the design process
using CAMs as building blocks.
A
trial copy of AnadigmDesigner2, including AnadigmPID, is
available for free. A complete evaluation kit with a development
board, entry-level software, and updated documentation is
now available for $199.
