Tp 11.7: a Transconductor-based Field-programmable Analog Array*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Field-programmable gate arrays for prototyping digital circuits are a widely endorsed approach for reducing time-to-market. Offering similar advantages, a field-programmable analog array (FPAA) for prototyping continuous-time linear analog circuits is reported here. Conceptually, a FPAA consists of configurable analog blocks (CABS) and interconnect. The function of each CAE3 and the connections among CABS are determined by the contents of an on-chip shift register. Different circuits can be instantiated using a FPAA by loading indifferent configuration bits. This IC strategy offers simplified analog circuit design with the advantages of instant prototyping, programmable topology, programmable parameters, CAD compatibility, and testability.
