Abstract
A mixed signal integrated circuit includes a digital logic array and an analog cell array. Each cell of the analog cell array shares a common architecture and is fully programmable. An analog cell includes mirror NFETs, cascode NFETs, differential pair NFETs, differential pair PFETs, cascode PFETs and mirror PFETs. An analog cell may also include special purpose components, such as low value resistors, high value resistors and PFETs.
