Implementation of various chaotic spiking oscillators based on field programmable analog array

Abstract

In this paper, a circuit based on a field programmable analog array (FPAA) is proposed for three types of chaotic spiking oscillator (CSO). The input/output conversion characteristics of a specific element in the FPAA can be defined by the user. By selecting the proper characteristics, three types of CSO are realized without changing the structure of the circuit itself. Chaotic attractors are observed in a hardware experiment. It is confirmed that the dynamics of the CSOs are consistent with numerical simulations.
