A new integrated circuit cellular neural network implementation having digitally or continuously selectable template coefficients is presented. Local logic and memory is added into each cell providing a simple dual computing structure (analog and digital). The variable-gain operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is used as voltage controlled current sources to program the weighting factors of the template elements. A 4-by-4 CNN circuit is realized using the 2 mu m analog CMOS-process. The circuit with different template configurations has been simulated with HSPIC.>
