A multi-objective system level synthesis approach to reconfigurable analog technology

The current paradigm shift in signal processing system design favors the deployment of heterogeneous systems that may combine DSPs, FPGAs and other digital processing elements. Consequently, there has been an expanded interest in design exploration methodologies to explore the design space for optimal mixed-signal signal processing designs. The emergence of field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) has provided the resources to realize these methodologies. This paper presents a multi-objective system level synthesis methodology that explores the design space for mixed-signal signal processing solutions.
