FPAA and FPGA based universal sensor node design

Abstract

Highly flexible FPAA and FPGA based universal sensor node design targeting researchers is discussed in this paper. The reconfigurable system is capable of supporting up to three low power analog sensors and two digital sensors in parallel. This facilitates dynamic configurability and remote monitoring by connecting the device to the internet. The design can be utilized in development of remote sensing devices to be establish at locations where frequent repairing and maintenance is difficult. Compensability for aging, adjustability to different environments, flexibility are key advantages of this system.
