A VLSI Hamming artificial neural network with k-winner-take-all and k-loser-take-all capability
Stéphane Badel, Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici · 2004
A novel circuit-level Hamming artificial neural network architecture based on the principle of analog charge-based computation of the neural function is proposed. k-winner-take-all and k-loser-take-all operations are performed in the time-domain, allowing for fast and compact realization of complex functions. The VLSI realization of a two-dimensional array arrangement of the Hamming network is presented, with the targeted processing applications.
