TRAC020LH

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The TRAC020LH is a Micro-Power version of
the existing TRAC products. It also offers
significant improvements in bandwidth and
function accuracy.

The TRAC020LH is the latest addition to the
TRAC family of Field Programmable Analog
Devices (FPAD ) which offers an integrated path
from signal processing problems to working
silicon solutions - in minutes! The Totally
Reconfigurable Analog Circuit is a highly
flexible single chip solution to the signal
processing problems found in many markets.

Introducing a Top-Down, Structured design
discipline, TRAC enables rapid
implementation, prototyping and product
release. Rather than working at the component
level, TRAC champions the Computational
Approach, providing designers with benefits
formerly associated with programmable
digital devices. TRAC brings a truly integrated
Signal Processing problem solving process
and offers a path to Custom Silicon for high
volume applications.

DESCRIPTION OF PIN FUNCTIONS
DATA Serial programming data is input to the TRAC via this pin. Each TRAC cell contains

RESET Active low - The pin resets all on-chip shift registers to the logic zero state, which sets

PD Active low - The pin switches off the bias generators to the analog cells, which turns

CLOCK Used to clock in the serial data to program the TRAC dev ice. The on-chip shift registers

DOUT This pin is the serial data output from cell 20 on the TRAC device. This is used for

CLCR Clock Clear. When the TRAC device is used in stand alone applications CLCR is used

off the supply current to all the TRAC cells. This does not influence the programming
of the cells so this feature can be used to reduce power consumption for applications
that have a standby mode. The pin should be held high while the device is being
programmed and when the analog functions are in use. This pin is permanently held

TRAC devices to be connected in a serial architecture. This is done by connecting the
DOUT pin of the first TRAC device to the DATA pin of the second TRAC device, and
connecting the CLOCK pins.
