Synthesis Of Translinear Analog Signal Processing Systems, Eric Mcdonald, Bradley Minch

Bradley Minch

In this paper, we describe a structured methodology for synthesizing translinear analog signal-processing systems from high-level descriptions in the time domain. The circuits are implemented from elements called multiple-input translinear elements (MITEs). We illustrate the synthesis methodology with the simple example ofan RMS-DC converter.

Large networks composed of multiple input translinear elements (MITEs) have been typically limited by the mismatches between individual MITEs. This paper presents the methodology that allows for such systems to be feasible through the application of floating-gate programming techniques. We introduce designs for a programmable MITE, and demonstrate the ability to systematically reduce offsets through accurate programming of example circuits.
