Okika Devices Launches Chameleon™ — Adaptive Analog Modules That Evolve with Your Design
Okika Devices today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Chameleon™ product family — a new line of compact, adaptive analog modules that redefine flexibility in analog design. Combining the power of reconfigurable analog technology with ease of use and speed to market, the Chameleon™ series enables engineers to implement, test, and iterate analog functions faster than ever before.
Each Chameleon™ module integrates Okika’s proprietary Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) with built-in nonvolatile memory, a precision oscillator, and advanced reconfiguration circuitry. This unique combination allows the module to deliver pre-programmed, ready-to-use analog functions in a compact 14 × 11 mm LGA-32 package — providing a complete analog subsystem that’s both flexible and efficient.
Reconfigurable Analog Power — Simplified
Analog design often requires balancing flexibility with complexity. Traditional approaches depend on fixed-function analog components or rely on digital control via microcontrollers and firmware — both of which can slow down development and increase cost.
The Chameleon™ family eliminates that tradeoff. Designed for engineers who need adaptability without added digital overhead, each module can operate as a standalone fixed-function analog block straight out of the box — no microcontroller or firmware required.
For applications that demand tuning or reconfiguration, users can easily reprogram the module in-system or through a standard 3.3V SPI interface, allowing for complete customization and rapid iteration without hardware redesigns.
“With Chameleon™, designers can implement, test, and update analog functions in minutes rather than months,” said Michael Hollabaugh, VP of Sales & Marketing at Okika Devices. “It’s ideal for sensor conditioning, adaptive control, and instrumentation — anywhere flexibility, precision, and speed to market matter.”
Key Advantages of the Chameleon™ Family
The Chameleon™ platform introduces a new era of analog modularity, combining power, flexibility, and simplicity in a form factor small enough to fit nearly any design.
- Design Simplicity: Ships pre-programmed and ready to use — no digital interface or firmware required unless desired.
- Custom Optimization: Okika Devices offers direct application support and can provide custom-configured analog circuits tailored to each customer’s performance and design goals.
- Compact Size: Advanced High-Density Interconnect (HDI) construction fits a complete analog subsystem — including active components and supporting circuitry — into a tiny 14 × 11 mm footprint.
- Standard Tools: Fully programmable using any 3.3V SPI EEPROM programmer, enabling rapid development without proprietary hardware.
- Future-Proof Flexibility: Reconfigure analog functions such as filters, amplifiers, oscillators, and PID loops at any time — all without changing hardware.
This combination of modular hardware and easy reconfiguration allows design teams to adapt to new requirements on the fly, speeding up product development and reducing prototyping costs.
Powered by Okika’s FlexAnalog™ Technology
At the core of every Chameleon™ module is FlexAnalog™, Okika’s advanced FPAA (Field Programmable Analog Array) architecture. The FlexAnalog™ core features a matrix of over 40 configurable analog modules (CAMs) — building blocks such as filters, amplifiers, integrators, oscillators, and signal conditioning circuits.
Engineers can model, simulate, and optimize designs using Anadigm Designer 2, Okika’s powerful software suite for analog system design. The platform allows real-time simulation, precise parameter tuning, and filter synthesis tools that make analog development as flexible and iterative as digital design.
This combination of reconfigurable hardware and intuitive software shortens the design cycle dramatically, empowering teams to test new ideas in minutes instead of days or weeks.
Ideal for a Broad Range of Applications
The Chameleon™ family is purpose-built for engineers across industries who need high-performance, configurable analog solutions that can evolve alongside their designs. Key application areas include:
- Programmable active filter networks — Easily configure and adjust filters for precision signal processing.
- Sensor signal conditioning and linearization — Rapidly adapt to new sensors or changing environmental conditions.
- Industrial automation and adaptive control — Implement control loops and analog feedback systems that can be reprogrammed for different machines or processes.
- Research, education, and prototyping — Perfect for labs and developers who need a flexible analog platform to test new ideas without constant hardware redesign.
From rapid prototyping to full-scale production, Chameleon™ modules allow design teams to stay ahead of changing requirements and accelerate time to market while maintaining analog performance and reliability.
Bringing Analog Design into the Future
With the introduction of the Chameleon™ product family, Okika Devices continues its mission to make analog design more adaptable, efficient, and accessible. The company’s vision is to empower engineers to build smarter analog systems — without being limited by fixed-function components or long development cycles.
“Analog flexibility has long been a bottleneck for innovation,” added Hollabaugh. “Chameleon™ changes that equation. By combining the power of reconfigurable analog with simplicity and speed, we’re giving engineers a tool that truly evolves with their design.”
