Abstract :
An architecture for one of the first mixed-signal field-programmable system-on-a-chip (FPSOC) is presented. The FPSOC integrates a 24-MHz 8-bit microcontroller, flash memory, SRAM, programmable analog and digital blocks, and on-chip clock generation. Programmable interconnect has been designed to allow analog and digital blocks to be combined to form a wide variety of functional modules.
