A 1 MHz Compact Digitally Controlled Perceptron Integrated Circuit Implementation with Process Insensitivity

implementations utilize a CMOS inverter to obtain a sigmoid response, making the output wave form process sensitive, i.e. making it unpredictable from one integrated circuit to another [5]. predictable output independent of process parameters and thermal effects . Other strengths in this design are its speed and the fact that each weight is fully programmable with up to eight bits of resolution while maintaining a compact size. Each integrated circuit will comprise a single interconnected layer capable of being cascaded to form a multiple layer network. The proposed neural network integrated circuit could be easily mass produced and potentially has a wide range of applications, such as video signal compression/expansion.
