Configurable Analog Circuit Synthesis And Implementation Kit Pcb Based Approach

The implementation of newly designed analog circuits in most cases is a merger of known analogrncircuit blocks. The testing of these analog circuits have challenges like schematic to prototype partrndiscrepancy, being cumbersome, fragility and component value variation. Field ProgrammablernAnalog Array (FPAA), could be considered analog counterparts FPGA, have been used for therndesign and development analog circuits. FPAAs combine CAD tool with rapid prototyping ofrnanalog circuits. FPAAs are monolithic programmable and generic analog circuit building tools. rnIn this paper a configurable PCB based analog circuit builder kit is to be designed and built as arnpossible rugged alternative to FPAAs. The need for this alternative is put forward to utilize thernadvantages of FPPAs in a more rugged and accessible analog circuit building. This kit containsrnreal analog circuit components with configurable interconnecting switches on a single board. Thernbuilding and validation testing of such a kit is performed in this research. It can handle more powerrnand larger components. It contains on board power supplies and component banks. This kit couldrnbe instrumental in the education/training of analog circuit design both in academia and industry.
