Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device can include a plurality of analog blocks, including at least one fixed function analog circuit, and at least one reconfigurable analog circuit block selected from: a continuous time (CT) block comprising a plurality of reconfigurable amplifier circuits and a discrete time block comprising amplifiers with a reconfigurable switch network; an analog multiplexer (MUX) configured to selectively connect any of a plurality of input/outputs (I/Os) of the IC device to the analog blocks, the analog MUX including at least one low noise signal path pair having a lower resistance than other signal paths of the analog MUX; at least one analog routing block reconfigurable to provide signal paths between any of the analog blocks; a digital section comprising digital circuits; and a processor interface coupled to the analog blocks.
