Abstract
A programmable processing device having a control system and a programmable reference block. The control system sends digital control signals to the programmable reference block, which in turn generates analog variable signals used as reference signals for the programming of the one or more reconfigurable data converters.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a control system;
- and
- a programmable reference block coupled to the controller system,
- wherein the programmable reference block is configured to generate, based on digital control signals received from the control system, analog variable signals that are used as reference signals for one or more reconfigurable data converters.
