1. A system comprising:
a mixed signal component comprising a group of sensor devices, the mixed signal component configured to generate one or more events from among the group of sensor devices; and
at least one reconfigurable signal path component in electronic communication with the mixed signal component and configured to receive the one or more events, the at least one reconfigurable signal path component comprising:
a control unit component comprising a programmable function enable mechanism, the control unit component configured to distribute the one or more received events in combination with one or more functions among a set of predefined functions enabled by the programmable function enable mechanism, and
a digital signal processor (DSP) component configured to perform one or more operations associated with the distributed one or more events in accordance with the one or more enabled functions.
