This paper describes a new reconfigurable analog array (RAA) architecture and an
integrated circuit (IC), and its use to map analog circuits that adapt to extreme temperatures.
Evolution-driven adaptation takes place on the RAA IC, guided by algorithms implemented
in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) collocated with the RAA in the extreme
temperature environment. The experiments demonstrate circuit adaptation over a wide
temperature range, from extremely low of-180degC to high of 120degC.
