A programmable high-frequency operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is proposed and analyzed. A general configurable analog block (CAB) is presented, which consists of the proposed programmable OTA, programmable capacitor and MOSFET switches. Using the CABs, the universal tunable and field programmable analog array (FPAA) can be constructed, which can realize many signal-processing funct...

Due to their reliability, performance and rapid prototyping, programmable logic devices overcome the use of ASICs in the digital system design. However, the similar solution for analog signals was not so easy to find. But the evolutionary trend in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technologies fuelled by fierce industrial competition to reduce integrated circuits (ICs) cost and time t...
