Abstract :
A scalable high-precision maximum/minimum circuit is designed. This circuit can be easily configured as maximum or minimum function by an enable signal without modifying the circuit structure and pre-processing input variables. The response time of the circuit is increased linearly with respect to the number of input variables. This circuit has been simulated using 0.5 μm CMOS technology by HSPICE. The results show that a cell can be a winner/loser if its input voltage is larger or smaller than those of other cells by 3 mV
