Patent ID: 7042273

Claim:
An electronic network comprising: a plurality of nodes that are operably interconnected, wherein each node comprises a current input and a current output, and wherein each node further comprises at a first current mirror and a second current mirror, with the first and the second current mirrors being complementary to each other such that an output of the first current mirror is operably connected to an input of the second current mirror, and wherein the first and second current mirrors are selected from a group consisting of field effect transistors and bipolar transistors; wherein the nodes are connected such that the output of one or more of the nodes is operably connected to the input of one or more of the nodes; and wherein at least some of the nodes further comprise a Schmitt trigger, an inverter and a capacitor; further comprising a circuit element positioned between the output of the first current mirror and the input of the second current mirror; and wherein the circuit element is selected from a group consisting of transistors and resistors.
