| Summary: | and difficulties involved in building such a FPAA Based on the simulation and fabricated results, the fea building a Field-Programmable Analog Array (FPAA). channel to realize the interconnections. The flow Compared to conventional metal-programmable arrays which designing analog systems was demonstrated. fabricated programmable specification OTA are presented. filters. This thesis deals with the design, development for prototyping analog circuits and off-theshelf analog FPAA and their performance studied. Test results of the However, extending the concept of field-programmability Of late Field-Programmable Gate arrays have become very popular because of their low cost and instant turnaround. programmed within minutes to realize filters within a proposed. Several test circuits were implemented on the require a final metalization step, a FPAA can be easily schematic of a CAD system that obtains the user input sibility of the field-programmable analog array for specification and maps it onto the FPAA blocks is also specified frequency range. Such a FPAA would be ideal switching blocks connect the various tracks in each targeted towards high frequency Operational the FPAA blocks. Programmable switches in connection and The various blocks of the OTA-C filter are mapped onto the various issues that have to be taken care of in to analog circuits has been an arduous task because of Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) - Capacitor (C) filters. |
