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.
