A Novel Current-Mode Cmos Multiple-Valued Logic Neuron
Daniel Teng · 2006
This paper proposes a new neuron model that has multiple-valued logic inputs, weights, and outputs. The new model results in improved speed due to its carry-free operations. The interconnection complexity of neural network based on this model can also be reduced significantly due to the inherent properties from the multiple-valued logic. Dependent the layers of neural networks, at least 50 percentage of reduction in the interconnection area can be achieved with 4-valued logic neurons. Circuit implementation of the model using current-mode CMOS design technique is also discussed with SPICE simulations.
