Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY COURT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. The template matching module of claim 1 comprising a plurality of template rows, wherein each template row is for storing a different programmable template, each template row comprising:
a plurality of template pixels, wherein each of the plurality of template pixels comprises a tunable CMOS circuit configured to store a value, receive a respective one of the plurality of signal samples, determine whether the one of the plurality of signal samples matches the stored value, and output an output current; and
an output device configured to integrate the output currents outputted by the plurality of template pixels, wherein:
each of the tunable CMOS circuits comprises:
a CMOS element configured to receive an analogue input signal, and
a tunable load connected to the CMOS element and configured to set a switch point of the CMOS element,
wherein the CMOS element is configured to output an output current, the output current being largest when the analogue input signal is equal to the switch point.
