Abstract-In this paper, the implementation of signal processing circuits on a novel translinear Field-Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) testchip is reported. The FPAA testchip is based on a 0.35-micron, fully CMOS translinear element, which is the core block of a reconfigurable analog cell. The FPAA embeds a 5 × × × 5 cell array. As implementation examples, a four-quadrant multiplier with five decade dynamic range and a programmable fourth-order low-pass filter with up to 7 M Hz bandwidth have been mapped on the translinear FPAA. 14 cells have been used for the four-quadrant multiplier while 18 cells were needed for the fourth-order low-pass filter.
