Abstract :
A full custom, 25 MHz, 1.6 μm CMOS correlator chip is presented. The 5.15 mm by 4.23 mm chip performs either autocorrelation or crosscorrelation, consuming less than 10 mW per channel. The correlator, designed for a space borne spectrometer, contains 32 channels and is cascadable. The correlator was designed to Mil Spec, 3σ Worst Case Speed parameters
