  • Dynamically reconfigurable analog routing circuits and methods for system on a chip
    Patent number: 9612987
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device may include a reconfigurable analog signal switching fabric comprising a plurality of global buses that are selectively connected to external pins by pin connection circuits in response to changeable analog routing data, and a plurality of local buses that are selectively connected to analog blocks and/or global buses by routing connection circuits in response to the analog routing data; and at least one processor circuit that executes predetermined operations in response to instruction data.
