FPAD or FPAA
Field Programmable Analog Device/ Array
FPAA is analog IC which is equivalent of FPGA.
It contain a small no. of CAB (Configuration Analog BLock).
CAB contain operational amplifier, programmable capacitor
array and resistor array for configurable switches for
switched capacitor circuits.

FPID(FPIC)
Field Programmable Interconnect devices(chips)
An FPIC is not really a logic device but rather a
programmable "wiring" device. Through programming, an
FPIC connects one pin on the device to another on the device
providing programmable interconnect.
FPICs use either SRAM or anti-fuse programming
technology.
