Welcome to AnadigmDesigner®2. AnadigmDesigner®2 allows a user to program Okika’s Field Programmable Analog Arrays. AnadigmDesigner®2 provides the easiest and fastest possible way to design and implement Analog Circuits.
What’s new?
Version 1
What does the AnadigmDesigner®2 software do?
AnadigmDesigner®2 allows one to quickly create and test analog circuits.
Prepackaged analog circuit blocks called "CAMs" may be selected and placed within a "chip". The CAMs placed within a chip may then be "wired" together to form a more complex circuit. There is a built-in simulator that may then be used to examine the behavior of the entire circuit.
The built-in simulator allows one to place "signal generators" and "oscilloscope probes."
The results of the last simulation are saved so that the oscilloscope probes may be moved from node to node to examine the behavior of the circuit as if it were an actual circuit on a lab bench.
After one is sure that the circuit is behaving as planned, one may then download the configuration bit stream to the Okika evaluation board. The download operation will program the chip so that the chip will immediately begin to behave as the circuit that was designed.
The configuration bit stream may be downloaded directly to the Okika evaluation board via the PC’s serial port. One may then examine the actual electrical behavior of the circuit embodied within the chip by using signal generators and oscilloscopes attached to probe points on the Okika evaluation board.
The bit stream may also be downloaded to files of various formats suitable for use with ROM burners. This allows Okika Dynamic Analog Matrix to be programmed from ROM chips.
There are also systems to generate C code to assist the embedded system designer who is doing dynamic configuration of the Okika DynAMx under microprocessor control.
