Integrated circuit (IC) design for analog computing requires similar toolflows and synthesis as large-scale digital systems, in-turn necessitating a library of general-purpose analog cells. To this end, we present a programmable, floating-gate (FG)-based analog standard cell library in a commercially available 65 nm process that allows analog IC designers to use synthesis tools with an abstracted design mindset similar to large-scale digital design. We fabricate the test cells, which include filters with programmable corners, an analog classifier, and an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG); experimentally characterize FG programming; and experimentally demonstrate the performance of the standard cells. Overall, the standard cells achieve a similar or smaller footprint than previous approaches while leveraging the benefits of FG programming at smaller technology nodes.

Over the past decade, polar codes have received significant attraction and have been selected as the coding method for the control channel in fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems. However, conventional polar codes are reliant solely on binary ( $2 times 2$
