Abstract :
A collection of analog "soft-gate" CMOS ASICs operating in subthreshold-mode was implemented in a low-cost semi-custom 0.8 μm technology. These soft-gates allow, in particular, the realization of various decoders for simple error correcting codes on the breadboard level. Measurement results are presented for an (8,4,4) Hamming code.
