An Analog VLSI Model of Periodicity Extraction
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an electronic system that extracts the periodicity of a sound. It uses three analogue VLSI building blocks: a silicon cochlea, two inner-hair-cell circuits and two spiking neuron chips. The silicon cochlea consists of a cascade of filters. Because of the delay between two outputs from the silicon cochlea, spike trains created at these outputs are synchronous only for a narrow range of periodicities. In contrast to traditional bandpass filters, where an increase in' selectivity has to be traded off against a decrease in response time, the proposed system responds quickly, independent of selectivity.

An Analog VLSI Model of Periodicity Extraction in the Human Auditory System
This paper presents an electronic system that extracts the periodicity of a sound. It uses three analog VLSI building blocks: a silicon cochlea, two Inner Hair Cell circuits and two spiking neuron chips. The silicon cochlea consists of a cascade of filters which delays (and filters) the input sound as it passes along the cascade. The time delay added by each individual filter in the cochlea inc...
متن کاملAn analog VLSI architecture for auditory based feature extraction
We have developed a low power analog VLSI chip for real time signal processing motivated by the principles of human auditory system. A analog cochlear lter-bank (which is implemented on the chip) decomposes the input audio signal into several frequency bands that have almost equal bandwidth on a log scale. This step is thus similar to computing the wavelet transform. The chip then computes sign...
متن کاملAn Analog VLSI Chip with Asynchronous Interface for Auditory Feature Extraction
We present an analog VLSI chip intended to serve as a front end of a speech recognition system. The chip architecture is inspired by biological auditory models common to humans and primate vertebrates. We include experimental results on a 1.2m CMOS custom analog VLSI implementation and speech recognition results obtained from software simulations of the hardware on the TI-DIGITS database.

متن کاملAn Efficient Technique for Substrate Coupling Parasitic Extraction with Application to RF/Microwave Spiral Inductors (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents an efficient modeling method, based on the microstrip lines theory, for the coupling between a substrate backplane and a device contact. We derive simple closed-form formulas for rapid extraction of substrate parasitics. We use these formulas to model spiral inductors as important substrate-noise sources in mixed-signal systems. The proposed model is verified for the freque...
