ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,562,743, issued on Feb. 24, was assigned to Drexel University (Philadelphia).
"Reconfigurable array for analog applications" was invented by Ioannis Savidis (Wallingford, Pa.) and Ziyi Chen (Philadelphia).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A field-programmable analog array (FPAA) fabric includes a 6x6 matrix of configurable analog blocks (CABs). The implementation of programmable CABs eliminates the use of fixed analog subcircuits. A unique routing strategy is developed within the CAB units that supports both differential and single-ended mode circuit configurations. The bandwidth limitation due to the routing switches of each individual CAB ...
