Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a programmable logic block. The programmable logic block includes a programmable logic array (PLA) and a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The PLA includes logic cells having a first architecture. The FPGA includes logic cells having a second architecture more complex than the first architecture. The programmable logic block includes an interface coupled to the PLA and the FPGA. An integrated circuit may also include circuitry for selecting one of plurality of clock signals for logic cells of a PLA.

Abstract: A method is for processing an analog signal coming from a transmission channel. The analog signal may include a useful signal modulated on a sub-set of carriers. The method may include analog-to-digital converting of the analog signal into a digital signal, and synchronization processing the digital signal. The synchronizing may include determining, in a time domain, a limited number of coefficients of a predictive filter from an autoregressive model of the digital signal, and filtering the digital signal in the time domain by a digital finite impulse response filter with coefficients based upon the limited number of coefficients to provide a filtered digital signal. The method may include detecting of an indication allowing a location in the frame structure to be identified, using the filtered digital signal and a reference signal.

Abstract: A system on chip includes a programmable logic array. The system on chip also includes a signal conditioner coupled to a data input of the programmable logic array and configured to condition a data signal prior to processing the data signal with the programmable logic array. The signal conditioner can selectively condition the signal by one or both of synchronizing the data signal with a clock signal of the programmable logic array and generating a pulse from the data signal with an edge detector.

Abstract: A method includes digital/analog conversion of a digital signal modulated by information to provide a modulated initial analog signal having a crest factor greater than one, and amplification of the initial analog signal to provide an amplified modulated signal. A modulated channel analog signal derived from the modulated amplified analog signal is transmitted over a communications channel, with impedance of the communications channel varying during the transmission. The method further includes at least one determination during the transmission of a peak-clipping rate of the amplified analog signal over at least one time interval, and an adjustment of a level of the initial analog signal as a function of the determined peak-clipping rate.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a programmable logic array. The programmable logic array incudes a plurality of logic elements arranged in rows and columns. Each logic element includes a direct output and a synchronized output. The direct output of each logic element is coupled to all other logic elements of higher rank, but is not coupled to logic elements of lower rank.
