Low Voltage Lazzaro's WTA with enhanced loop gain
نویسندگان
چکیده
An additional stage for a Low Voltage Lazzaro’s Winner Take All (WTA) circuit is introduced. It allows lowering the voltage supply requirements so that it can be functional in fine line CMOS technology. Electrical measurements of a prototype in CMOS 0.5μm technology verify the operation of the WTA circuit with VDD = 1.5V. Simulations in PSpice and stability issues are presented as well.

A Winner-Take-All Circuit with Controllable Soft Max Property
I describe a silicon network consisting of a group of excitatory neurons and a global inhibitory neuron. The output of the inhibitory neuron is normalized with respect to the input strengths. This output models the normalization property of the wideeld directionselective cells in the y visual system. This normalizing property is also useful in any system where we wish the output signal to code ...

متن کاملLow-voltage differential voltage follower for WTA and fully differential applications
A low-voltage differential version of a high performance voltage follower is presented. The proposed circuit is very compact, and symmetric with respect to the input devices. Both differential input devices are enhanced by local shunt feedback, increasing the gain and, thus, reducing the output resistance for higher precision. The circuit has proved useful as a winner-take-all (WTA) circuit. It...
