چکیده
The design and simulation of Winner-Take –All Current Mode (WTA) circuit is proposed. The proposed novel current mode CMOS WTA operates at 0.7v, which makes the circuit appropriated for low voltage hardware computation. The circuit was designed and simulated using Cadence gpdk090, with resolution of 0.001fA and an input dynamic range 50nA-10fA and power dissipation during competition is of around 125 Micro Watt. Analysis of the circuits along with simulated results is reported.

The winner-take-all (WTA) circuit is a useful computational circuit for signal processing and learning tasks. By adding spatial coupling between pixels, local regions of competition can be delineated. Recently, we described a normalising circuit which enhances Lazzaro’s WTA circuit (1989) only with the addition of a transistor and a global bias to each pixel. This new circuit allows the network...
