Summary on Grant Application Form |

This research proposal seeks to develop programmable analogue and mixed signal VLSI capable of operating in continuous time, sampled data and mixed signal modes and targeted at generating intellectual property (IP) for designs re-use in System Level Integration (SLI) and rapid analogue prototyping in Field Programmable Analogue and Mixed Signal Array implementations.The research aims to develop a programmable cell or cells capable of implementing a wide range of analogue and mixed signal processing tasks. The programmable cell will be optimised to implement the functions associated with data conversion, e.g. sample and hold, anti-aliasing filtering, data conversion, signal conditioning etc, that form the common analogue components in circuits used for SLI. The aim will be to establish how simple analogue circuit building blocks may be designed so that they will work in many different configurations and still match the performance metrics required to make them valid IP blocks.The research programme will generate new circuit ideas and demonstrate their operation in analogue VLSI. The final device produced will be used to demonstrate the programmable analogue cells in a real world application.
