Abstract

This paper presents a vector-matrix multiplier (VMM), which can be easily implemented on a field programmable analog array (FPAA). This VMM can be synthesized directly into the switch-fabric of the FPAA, allowing for incredibly dense matrix operations. As an important aspect of this system, we utilize a complete chain of tools that compile the VMM design from Simulink blocks onto the FPAA hardware. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the analog VMM by relying on it to perform two common signal processing tasks.
