Technology Mapping and Retargeting for Field-Programmable.. - Sree Ganesan And (2000)   (Correct)

....the traditional prototype fabrication method to validate the design is both time consuming and expensive. We propose a fast and cost effective approach to analog system synthesis in VASE, employing rapid prototyping and retargeting. Rapid prototyping using field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) [2, 3, 4] produces a function compliant hardware prototype of the analog system. The retargeting phase rehosts the functional design into an ASIC. Figure 1 shows the design flow. In this paper, we focus on FPAA technology mapping and retargeting of FPAA designs to ASIC. The rest of this paper is organized ....

....sampling clock frequency. Continuoustime FPAAs are typically designed using transconductors. They have higher bandwidth, but the programmable parameter range is smaller. Voltage mode designs have limited signal swing while current mode designs have unlimited signal swing. The Motorola MPAA [2] and IMP EPAC [3] are discrete time FPAAs with bandwidths of 200kHz and 150kHz respectively, while the Zetex TRAC [4] is a continuous time FPAA with a 4MHz bandwidth. Irrespective of whether the FPAA is continuous time or discrete time, the programmable parameter range and the bandwidth pose ....

Behavioral Partitioning in the Synthesis of Mixed.. - Ganesan, Vemuri (2001)   (Correct)

.... We consider a mixed signal system composed of a set of field programmable devices that implement designs of the four block domains (CTCA, CTDA, DTCA, DTDA) The analog subsystem (continuous amplitude) consists of continuous time and discrete time FPAAs such as Zetex TRAC [10] and Motorola MPAA [11] respectively. These FPAAs correspond to the CTCA and DTCA blocks respectively. The digital subsystem (discrete amplitude) consists of Xilinx FPGAs [12] that implement the CTDA and DTDA blocks. Data conversion is performed by a bank of 8 bit A to D and D toA converters. It is clear that this ....

A Methodology for Rapid Prototyping of Analog Systems - Ganesan, Vemuri (1999)   (Correct)

....that the size of the designs is limited by the capacity of a single FPAA device. To accommodate bigger designs, the single FPAA may be replaced with multiple FPAA devices communicating through analog switch matrix interconnect. 2.1. Target FPAA Architecture Different styles of FPAA architectures [2, 3, 4] are available; one of them is the array based architecture. Arraybased FPAAs consist of rows and columns of configurable analog blocks (CABs) with horizontal and vertical routing resources between the rows and columns respectively. The Motorola FPAA architecture contains an array of identical ....

....to the right. 5. the global wires that can be connected to the input terminals alternates as the position of the cell shifts from column to column or row to row. The design tools for the MPAA from Motorola Inc. include a schematic capture and a manual place and route tool called EasyAnalog [7]. This paper presents an automatic routing tool for this type of FPAA architecture. 2.2 Routing Problem in Array based FPAAs Analog Routing: Digital circuits are characterized by an intrinsic robustness to parasitic effects. With analog circuits, effects of stray resistances and capacitances ....
