  abstract={This paper presents a mixed-signal system-on-chip (SOC) for decoding
the pressure exerted over a large piece of smart fabric. The image map
of the pressure applied over the fabric surface is achieved by
detecting the capacitance variation between rows and columns of
conductive fibers patterned on the two opposite sides of an elastic
layer, like synthetic foam. The SOC approach allows to reduce design
time maintaining the flexibility to accommodate for different sensor
sizes and to perform some image enhancement such as fixed pattern
noise compensation and gamma correction. The chip has been designed
in a $0.35\mu m$ 5ML CMOS process to work at 40MHz, 3.3V power supply,
in a fully reconfigurable arrangement of 128 rows and columns. The
core area is $32mm^2$.},
