Current-mode subthreshold MOS circuits for analog VLSI neural systems.
An overview of the current-mode approach for designing analog VLSI neural systems in subthreshold CMOS technology is presented. Emphasis is given to design techniques at the device level using the current-controlled current conveyor and the translinear principle. Circuits for associative memory and silicon retina systems are used as examples. The design methodology and how it relates to actual biological microcircuits are discussed.
