This paper presents a mixed analog/digital circuit design and simulation for an architecture called the augmented adaptive resonance theory-1 neural network (AART1-NN). The circuit is implemented based on the transconductance-mode approach and mixed analog/digital components, in which analog circuits are used to fully incorporate the parallel mechanism of the neural network, whereas digital circuits are used to provide a reduced circuit size as well as more precise multiplication operation. The AART1-NN circuit implemented is simulated using Pspice, and the results are in good agreement with those calculated numerically from the coupled nonlinear differential equations governing the AART1-NN.
