Title
System-Level Analog Simulation of a Mixed-Signal Continuous-Time Field Programmable Analog Array
Abstract
Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) represent analog signal transfer functions, which depend on alterable digital configuration data. They are indispensable if reconfigurable analog signal processing has to be included in a system-on-chip. For system-level design of filter structures as well as accurate transistor-level simulations of the analog transfer function, it is necessary to enter the respective configuration data before phase/magnitude-analyses are run. This paper introduces a graphical design-entry tool for an FPAA consisting of 17 gm-C blocks for instantiation of high-frequency filters. It also reports on first simulation results confirming the feasibility up to corner frequencies of hundreds of MHz. Transfer function simulations of basic building-blocks are compared with theory and lead to an exemplary instantiation of a fourth-order Butterworth-filter.
