A field-programmable analog array (FPAA) fabric includes a 6×6 matrix of configurable analog blocks (CABs). The implementation of programmable CABs eliminates the use of fixed analog subcircuits. A unique routing strategy is developed within the CAB units that supports both differential and single-ended mode circuit configurations. The bandwidth limitation due to the routing switches of each individual CAB unit is compensated for through the use of a switch-less routing network between CABs. Algorithms and methodologies facilitate rapid implementation of analog circuits on the FPAA. The proposed FPAA fabric provides high operating speeds as compared to existing FPAA topologies, while providing greater configuration in the CAB units as compared to switch-less FPAA. The FPAA core includes 498 programming switches and 14 global switchless interconnects, while occupying an area of 0.1 mm2 in a 65 nm CMOS process.

A method for implementing a multiplier on a programmable logic device (PLD) is disclosed. Partial product bits of the multiplier are identified and how the partial product bits are to be summed to generate a final product from a multiplier and multiplicand are determined.

In response to determining that a bit is under-utilized, the assigning of the chains of PLD cells and cells for generating and summing the partial product bits are changed to improve an overall utilization of the chains of PLD cells and cells in the chains of PLD cells.
