NESP2: a Low Power Analog NEural Signal Processor with Analog Weight Storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analog Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) could be the core of an "intelligent" signal processor, with the today used digital processing replaced by a raw "data driven" methodology. Characteristic of this approach is: analog input/output: signals don't need A/D and D/A converters; speed: an analog system can be faster than a digital or a mixed-mode one; effectiveness: ANNs already demonstrated their power in many applications; low power: analog circuits can save power. NEPS2 is a NEural Signal Processor which offers the above characteristics and is based on a traditional, available and not expensive double polysilicon double metal commercial VLSI process.

متن کاملAdaptive Analog VLSI Signal Processing and Neural Networks
PREFACE While the digital world frantically pursues ever-faster clock speeds to satisfy demanding signal processing applications, a quiet revolution in analog computing has been brewing, which promises to do more with less — more sophisticated signal processing delivered at less power in a smaller space. Novel application of a digital memory technology, the floating-gate MOS-FET (used in EEPROM...
متن کاملADAP: A Mixed-Signal Array Processor With Early Vision Applications
Many early vision tasks require only 6 to 8 b of precision. For these applications, a special-purpose analog circuit is often a smaller, faster, and lower power solution than a general-purpose digital processor, but the analog chips lack the programmability of digital image processors. This paper presents a programmable mixed-signal array processor which combines the programmability of a digita...
متن کاملA New Analog-based LO Harmonic Rejection Technique with Tunable Notch Frequency
An effective technique for mixer LO harmonic rejection in a SAW-less wideband receiver front-end is proposed. The proposed technique provides a tunable notch that can be placed at any frequency like mixer LO harmonics, to avoid the aliasing in baseband after mixing. An analog LC notch is used in a cascode transconductor, and it can reject one of the 3rd or 5th harmonics. T...
