“…A 1991 U.S. patent [42] awarded to Plessey Overseas Ltd. describes a cell for a semi-custom array that could be instantiated as an npn or pnp transistor, a resistor or a diode by use of an appropriate metalmask. Recent work in bipolar analog arrays has resulted in a cell-based array for wireless applications [43] in the GHz range. The array is composed of RF and digital cells that are parameterized and interconnected using a metal mask.…”

Abstract. The drive towards shorter design cycles for analog integrated circuits has given impetus to several developments in the area of Field-Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs). Various approaches have been taken in implementing structural and parametric programmability of analog circuits. Recent extensions of this work have married FPAAs to their digital counterparts (FPGAs) along with data conversion interfaces, to form FieldProgrammable Mixed-Signal Arrays (FPMAs). This survey paper reviews work to date in the area of programmable analog and mixed-signal circuits. The body of work reviewed includes university and industrial research, commercial products and patents. A time-line of important achievements in the area is drawn, the status of various activities is summarized, and some directions for future research are suggested.

This generic GPS MMIC contains two downconversion stages and the dividers, buffers, digital phase-frequency detector and negative resistance cell required to synthesize both Los and a ITL system clock. The MMIC operates from a 20 MHz external reference and provides overall conversion gain of about 65 dB from a 1575 MHz RF to a 15 MHz second IF. The 1.8 x 1.8 mm MMIC is implemented on a mixed-signal, silicon bipolar cell array and consumes less than 150 mW from a single 3.3V supply.
