Merging FPGA and FPAA Reconfiguration Capabilities for IEEE 1451.4 Compliant Smart Sensor Applications

This work focuses on the application of both field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as an unique system for implementing IEEE 1451.4 sensor interfaces. The inherent reconfigurability of these two hardware platforms allows increasing the versatility of the overall system, leading to a variety of sensor connectivity and remote measurement and control options.
