Abstract :
The development of large-scale field-programmable analog arrays (TPAAs) provides a great opportunity for expanding the capabilities of analog design courses and their laboratories. These devices allow the complete design and test cycle of an analog IC to be explored within the span of a single course term. A brief discussion of our experience incorporating the reconfigurable analog signal processor (RASP) into courses and workshops is presented.
