To achieve this, my research focused on implementing\u0026nbsp;a compact hardware, developing algorithms and tools, and establishing a solid calibration flow. The first phase, implementing a compact hardware, involved developing\u0026nbsp;FG SoC FPAAs including an FG programming infrastructure and built-in self test\u0026nbsp;circuits, as well as designing smaller test boards to enable IoT embedded applications. Secondly, FG FPAA systems need to provide interfacing tools for application\u0026nbsp;designers. This required a synthesis toolset generating a switch list from the user\u0026#39;s\u0026nbsp;design and an FG programming algorithm compatible with the SoC FPAAs. Lastly,\u0026nbsp;a solid calibration\u0026nbsp;flow solved the variation problem of each IC, which has been an\u0026nbsp;issue in typical analog system designs. By coordinating the development of these\u0026nbsp;three phases, it has been enabled to provide a powerful low-power system design environment, where system engineers consider analog circuits as black boxes, so they\u0026nbsp;can enjoy the design and implementation of higher level applications, as if they are\u0026nbsp;designing digital systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Low Power Mixed Signal System Design Environment using Floating-gate FPAAs "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2018-03-12 17:51:07","changed_gmt":"2018-03-12 17:51:07","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-03-26T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-03-26T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-03-26T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-03-26 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-03-26 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-03-26 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
