Filter Design Using a New Field-Programmable Analog Array (FPAA)

We present a voltage mode switched-capacitor Field ProgrammableAnalog Array (FPAA) to be used to implement various filter structures.The FPAA consists of uniform configurable analog blocks (CABs)allowing implementation of different functions. Each CAB consistsof two back-to-back connected inverting and non-inverting strays-insensitiveswitched-capacitor integrators. The interconnection between CABsis implemented by switched and unswitched capacitor networks.The internal structure of CABs and the interconnection betweendifferent CABs are configured by user-programmable digital controlsignals. The functionality of the FPAA is demonstrated throughembedding of different types of filters along with simulationresults.
