Robust Functional Testing for VLSI Cellular Neural Network Implementations [Transaction Briefs] - Circuits and Systems I: Fundamental Theory and Applications, IEEE Transactions on

چکیده
A robust testing method for detecting circuit faults within two-dimensional Cellular Neural Network (CNN) arrays is presented. The functional tests consist of a sequence of input vectors that toggle all internal nodes of the conceptual CNN model and propagate the result to the output pins. The resultant output vectors reveal nodes that exhibit opened, shorted, or stuck-at faults. The generated test vectors are universal, detect faults independent of the size or topology of the CNN array, and can be applied to any particular CNN implementation with little effort.

A Low-Power CMOS Implementation of Programmable CNNTMs with Embedded Photosensors [Transaction Briefs - Circuits and Systems I: Fundamental Theory and Applications, IEEE Transactions on
In this brief, an analog CMOS implementation of a Cellular Neural Network (CNN) is presented, which is based on a combination of MOS transistors operating in different modes: weak and stronginversion and MOS transistors operated in the lateral bipolar mode. This combination has enabled a VLSI implementation of a simplified version of the original CNN model with the main characteristics of low-p...
متن کاملCompetitively coupled orientation selective cellular neural networks - Circuits and Systems I: Fundamental Theory and Applications, IEEE Transactions on
We extend previous work in orientation selective cellular neural networks to include competitive couplings between different layers tuned to different orientations and spatial frequencies. The presence of these interactions sharpens the spatial frequency tuning of the filters in two ways, when compared to a similar architecture proposed previously which lacks these interactions. The first is th...
متن کاملRobust Filtering, Prediction, Smoothing, And Observability Of Uncertain Systems - Circuits and Systems I: Fundamental Theory and Applications, IEEE Transactions on
This paper is concerned with a class of continuoustime uncertain systems which satisfy a certain Integral Quadratic Constraint. The problems of robust filtering, robust prediction, and robust smoothing for such systems are defined, and nonconservative solutions are given in terms of Riccati differential equations. This paper also addresses a problem of robust observability for this class of unc...
متن کاملTime multiplexed color image processing based on a CNN with cell-state outputs
A practical system approach for time-multiplexing cellular neural network (CNN) implementations suitable for processing large and complex images using small CNN arrays is presented. For real size applications, due to hardware limitations, it is impossible to have a one-on-one mapping between the CNN hardware cells and all the pixels in the image involved. This paper presents a practical solutio...
متن کاملIeee Transactions on Circuits and Systems - I : Fundamental Theory
| In a recent paper certain approximations to continuous nonlinear functionals deened on an Lp space (1 < p < 1) are shown to exist. These approximations may be realized by sigmoidal neural networks employing a linear input layer that implements nite sums of integrals of a certain type. In another recent paper similar approximation results are obtained using elements of a general class of conti...
