Field-Programmable Analog Arrays: A Floating-Gate Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Floating-gate analog circuits are being used to implement advanced signal processing functions and are very useful for processing analog signals prior to analog to digital conversion. We present an architecture analogous to FPGA architectures for rapid prototyping of analog signal processing systems. These systems go beyond simple programmable amplifiers and filters to include programmable and adaptive filters, multipliers, gains, winner-take-all circuits, and matrix–array signal operations. We discuss architecture as well as details such as switching characteristics and interfacing to digital circuits or FPGAs.

Developing large-scale field-programmable analog arrays for rapid prototyping
Field-programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) provide a method for rapidly prototyping analog systems. While currently available FPAAs vary in architecture and interconnect design, they are often limited in size and flexibility. For FPAAs to be as useful and marketable as modern digital reconfigurable devices, new technologies must be explored to provide area efficient, accurately programmable analo...
متن کاملScaling Floating-Gate Devices Predicting Behavior for Programmable and Configurable Circuits and Systems
Abstract: This paper presents scaling of Floating-Gate (FG) devices, and the resulting implication to large-scale Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA) systems. The properties of FG circuits and systems in one technology (e.g., 350 nm CMOS) are experimentally shown to roughly translate to FG circuits in scaled down processes in a way predictable through MOSFET physics concepts. Scaling FG dev...

This paper introduces the Field-Programmable Learning Array, a new paradigm for rapid prototyping of learning primitives and machinelearning algorithms in silicon. The FPLA is a mixed-signal counterpart to the all-digital Field-Programmable Gate Array in that it enables rapid prototyping of algorithms in hardware. Unlike the FPGA, the FPLA is targeted directly for machine learning by providing ...
