Programmable analog processor

An analog method, comprising:

• receiving, by an analog processor, analog signals from one or more analog front-end circuits configured to receive analog signals from a plurality of inputs;
• receiving the analog signals as vector input data at an array of Configurable Analog Blocks ("CABs");
• storing multiple time steps of the vector input data using an analog delay element;
• applying a set of analog weights to the vector input data, using an analog Multiple- Input Multiple-Output ("MIMO") convolution layer, to generate a set of vector output data;
• configuring operation of the CAB, using analog parameter storage and control circuitry, to apply a data processing network to the vector input data;
• interconnecting the CABs, using a switch matrix configured to transmit analog vector signals between CABs without conversion to digital signals;
• and3
• applying by, the analog processor, the data processing network to the vector input data by propagating analog vectors through the array of CABs such that each CAB applies a portion of the data processing network.
