  • Patent number: 5608345
    Abstract: A switched capacitor circuit is described which is programmable so that its function can be set by a user. Thus, control circuitry and selection circuitry are provided to enable one of a plurality of alternative control signals to be provided to switch circuits of the switched capacitor circuit. In this way, the function of the switched capacitor circuits can be altered. Where there are a plurality of switched capacitor circuits connected in an array, the topology of the array can be altered by suitably routing particular input signals to particular outputs by selecting the control signals to control the switched circuits. A field programmable array of this type is also described.
