Programmable Analog, Part 1
One of the first classes of application-specific programmable logic devices combined analog circuits with digital programmable logic. These devices address the increasingly complex area of power management and similar applications. This class will provide a detailed description of several of these types of devices and will show specific examples of their use.

Fixed-Function MCUs With Programmable Fabric
Adding fixed functions to programmable logic devices is not new, but the most recent crop of devices with fixed-function MCUs is now addressing more targeted applications. As higher-level software functions and even real-time operating systems (RTOSs) can be easily included, the device reach is extending to specific, targeted applications. This class examines the types of features included and the types of applications these devices are now targeting.
