Integrated Floating-Gate Programming Environment for System-Level ICs

We present the first integrated system to handle heterogeneously used and programmed floating-gate (FG) elements in a single modular approach. We focus on IC design, integration, characterization, and algorithmic development of an integrated FG programming system for a large-scale field-programmable analog array. We work through tunneling approaches to initialize the FG devices for precision programming, as well as hot-electron injection approaches for precise device programming.
