16NM BULK CMOS DOCCCII BASED CONFIGURABLE ANALOG BLOCK DESIGN FOR FIELD PROGRAMMABLE ANALOG ARRAY

Abstract

Field programmable analog array (FPAA) is a rapidly growing technology for fast prototyping of analog signal processing systems facilitating the quick innovation at industry level with saving in terms of both time and cost. Analog signal processing is much faster and consumes less power than conventional digital signal processing, justifying the need for FPAA. Here we propose a Dual output current controlled current conveyor (DOCCCII) in 16nm bulk CMOS technology using PTM (High Performance 16nm Metal Gate / High-K / Strained-Si parameter) and discuss its characteristic. DOCCCII is superior in design among Current Conveyors because it requires no additional resistance for activation, it has it’s own parasitic resistance tunable through biasing current and has high bandwidth (GHz range). A configurable analog block (CAB) is also proposed which mainly consists of the DOCCCII readily configurable to realize an application. This cab is used here for the realization of 2 nd order filters.
