ab: Summary: Development of analog electronics solutions for space avionics is
    expensive and time-consuming. Lack of flexible analog devices,
    counterparts to digital Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), prevents
    analog designers from the benefits of rapid prototyping. This forces
    them to expensive and lengthy custom design, fabrication, and
    qualification of application specific integrated circuits (ASIC). This
    paper describes a recent FPAA design, the Self-Reconfigurable Analog
    Array (SRAA) that was developed at JPL. It has a large variety of
    analog building block components in the cells of the array and allows
    to operate over a wide range of temperature using a built in general
    purpose genetic algorithm (GA) engine as an intellectual property (IP)
    core.
