Abstract
This paper describes a new reconfigurable analog array (RAA) architecture and an integrated circuit (IC), and its use to map analog circuits that adapt to extreme temperatures. Evolution-driven adaptation takes place on the RAA IC, guided by algorithms implemented in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) collocated with the RAA in the extreme temperature environment. The experiments demonstrate circuit adaptation over a wide temperature range, from extremely low of -180°C to high of 120°C.
