Anadigm field programmable analogue arrays (FPAAs) are being used in watercraft steering modules manufactured by Teleflex Canada, where the configurable Anadigm device helps to reduce component count while providing a high level of design flexibility In the Teleflex Canada Seastar steering system, Anadigm's AN121E04 FPAA interfaces to a linear variable distance transducer (LVDT) to sense the position of a hydraulic spool

Designed by Teleflex engineers using the drag-and-drop AnadigmDesigner2 EDA software, the AN121E04 implementation provides a highly accurate synchronised demodulator for the steering application while performing offset and phase adjustments for which external components were previously needed.

"The AN121E04 helped us bring this new system to market very quickly by enabling true hardware and software concurrent engineer
