Abstract :
This paper will explore the evolutionary development of programmable devices and the emergent capacity to configure programmable analog devices. The architectures, research, current trends and a simulated example will be included in this investigation of programmable hardware. In the near future there will be one device that will be an all around programmable piece of hardware that will allow the user to implement analog as well as digital signal processing. The progressive enhancements of programmable devices that are making it possible to produce field programmable analog arrays (FPAA) and field programmable mixed signal arrays (FPMA) are also discussed.
