MULTI-DIE FPGA IMPLEMENTING BUILT-IN ANALOG CIRCUIT USING ACTIVE SILICON CONNECTION LAYER
The present application discloses a multi-die FPGA implementing a built-in analog circuit using an active silicon connection layer, and relates to the field of FPGA technology. The multi-die FPGA allows multiple small-scale and small-area dies to cascade to achieve large-scale and large-area FPGA products, reducing processing difficulties and improving chip production yields. Meanwhile, due to the existence of the active silicon connection layer, some circuit structures that are difficult to implement within the die and/or occupy a large die area and/or have a low processing requirement can be laid out in the silicon connection layer, solving the existing problems of making these circuit structures directly within the die. Part of the circuit structures can be implemented within the silicon connection layer and the rest in the die, which helps optimize the performance of FPGA products, improve system stability, and reduce system area.

Apparatus and methods for removing a large-signal voltage offset from a biomedical signal
Apparatus and methods remove a voltage offset from an electrical signal, specifically a biomedical signal. A signal is received at a first operational amplifier and is amplified by a gain. An amplitude of the signal is monitored, by a first pair of diode stages coupled to an output of the first operational amplifier, for the voltage offset. The amplitude of the signal is then attenuated by the first pair of diode stages and a plurality of timing banks. The attenuating includes limiting charging, by the first pair of diode stages, of the plurality of timing banks and setting a time constant based on the charging. The attenuating removes the voltage offset persisting at a threshold for a duration of at least the time constant. Saturation of the signal is limited to a saturation recovery time while the saturated signal is gradually pulled into monitoring range over the saturation recovery time.
