A remote lab to support e-learning on FPAA

Teaching analog and digital electronic subjects is not a trivial task because is necessary to use opposite methodologies. The electronic design in the digital field is centered in the use of microprocessor and FPGA based circuits using high level programing/configuring languages. The counterpart analog design is traditionally based in the use of elementary components associated with macroblocks such operational amplifiers in order to built-up the wanted mission circuit. Some few components, as the FPAA, are analogically configurable in a similar manner already used with the FPGA. However the use of this kind of components is not straightforward once is necessary to acquire some concepts not taught in the traditionally analog electronic classes. The current work presents an innovative remote lab to support teaching of the FPAAs.
