            Abstract : 
1120 analog memory points on a 0.8mm CMOS chip are arranged in 16 independent fully programmable delay lines. At the nominal 64MHz sampling rate, harmonic distortion is -48dB, dynamic range above 60dB and power consumption is 1.22W from a single 5V supply. The die area is 72mm2.
