Fitting full analog systems into small spaces is a problem for designers. What if you could use ready-to-use, reprogrammable modules and speed up development?
In electronics system design fitting all the parts in a very compact space is a difficult task. As a designer, challenges you face might include fitting full analog subsystems into small spaces while keeping flexibility and reducing development time. Okika Devices’ Chameleon modules solve this by providing compact analog building blocks that work immediately, with no microcontroller or firmware required for standard functions. Each module combines an Okika Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) with nonvolatile memory, a precision oscillator, and reconfiguration circuitry, all in a LGA-32 package.
The modules can be used as fixed-function analog blocks straight out of the box, or reprogrammed in-system via a standard 3.3V SPI interface, giving engineers the ability to customize and iterate rapidly without new hardware. They cover functions like filters, amplifiers, PID loops, and oscillators, making them suitable for sensor signal conditioning, linearization, industrial automation, adaptive control, and rapid prototyping.
Despite the small size, high-density interconnect (HDI) construction allows full analog subsystems to fit in the footprint. Okika also offers application support and tailored circuit configurations to meet specific performance goals. The modules are built on Okika’s FlexAnalog FPAA architecture, a reconfigurable analog matrix with over 40 configurable analog modules (CAMs). Designers can simulate and verify performance instantly using Anadigm Designer 2 software, with precise parameter tuning and filter design tools.
Chameleon modules aim to simplify analog design, reduce development complexity, and provide flexible, future-proof solutions for engineers across research, industrial, and embedded applications.
“With Chameleon, designers can implement, test, and update analog functions in minutes rather than months,” said Michael Hollabaugh, VP of Sales & Marketing at Okika Devices. “It’s ideal for sensor conditioning, adaptive control, and instrumentation — anywhere flexibility, precision, and speed to market matter.”
