Low power programmable current mode circuits
In this article (based on transconductance adjustment) novel low power, programmable circuits such as switched transconductance and neuron structures that set foundations for low power VLSI sampled data filtering circuits and neural networks are proposed. The switched transconductance integrator structures are presented and their performances are compared to switched current counterparts. Also the analog circuits for activation function and programmable weight synaptic connections are presented and discussed. A qualitative comparison is made between standard and proposed circuits.
