ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an integrated circuit comprising a substrate having a plurality of digital signal processors, including at least one analog circuit block, and means on said substrate for programmably interconnecting said processors and said at least one analog circuit block together. Also disclosed is a programming system comprising means for converting a programmable analog array specification into one or more programs executable by one or more digital signal processors so as to perform the identical or substantially identical function or functions as the programmed analog array.
