Abstract

This paper reports on a Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) for high-frequency continuous-time analog filters. A rapid-prototyping hardware is presented, which implements a unique hexagonal topology of 55 tunable OTAs for reconfigurable instantiation of Gm-C filters in a 0.13 mum CMOS technology. It is the first analog array to achieve a bandwidth, which allows processing of intermediate frequencies used in communication systems. The maximum power dissipation is 70 mW at 1.2 V supply. The intuitive chip structure allows direct mapping of Gm-C filter schematics with up to 7 independent nodes, immediate download to the hardware, and evaluation of the working prototype.
