Abstract
A general-purpose Analog Signal Processing System (ASPS) is disclosed. An ASPS can be realized though an array of Configurable Integrator Blocks (CIBs). The CIBs can be identical to each other, and arranged in rows and columns. A CIB can merge multiplication, integration, and sample-and-hold functions into a single programmable circuit block. Within the ASPS, CIBs are interconnected in a manner that allows CIB inputs to be a combination of external signals and outputs of other CIBs, and allows CIB outputs to be combined to produce system (external) outputs or inputs to other CIBs. This networked architecture combined with the basic functionality of each CIB, enables implementation of a broad range of analog signal processing operations. The ASPS can be field programmable. The field programmability permits end users to be able to quickly and inexpensively fabricate customized analog integrated circuits.
