Configurable Analog Modules or CAMs are circuit building blocks abstracted to a functional level that can be manipulated in AnadigmDesigner®2.
A complex circuit can be implemented in a chip simply by selecting, configuring, placing, and wiring CAMs. See the tutorial for an overview of this process. CAMs may contain multiple circuit parameters and architectures that can be selected though CAM configuration. However, the user is not required to understand the underlying fundamental circuits that are incorporated into the CAMs because they have been abstracted to a functional level at the user interface. This improves the speed and ease of circuit design. Each CAM has documentation to provide information about the CAM construction and how it should be used.
The CAMs used in AnadigmDesigner®2 have been consolidated so that, for instance, the "Biquadratic Filter" (Filter Biquad) CAM dialog window allows the user to select the "High Pass", "Low Pass", "Band Pass" or "Band Stop" form of a "Biquadratic Filter".
Each CAM has a unique symbol and each symbol is "dynamic" so that it shows the phasing and other characteristics selected by the user. For example, the following shows various "Biquadratic Filter" symbols:
|
Low Pass Phase 1 |
Low Pass Phase 2 |
High Pass |
Band Pass |
Band Stop |
