Design a current-mode Max/Min Circuit in CMOS technology

The multiple-Input Min/Max Circuit with bi-directional current-mode circuit is proposed and fabricated. In the circuit design, Max Circuit and Min circuit are all single-circuit design previously. The multiple signals input to the Min and Max Circuit has been processed to produce the Max and Min Current, respectively. The integrated structure of current-mode Min/Max is designed in CMOS circuits to reduce the area of chip that the circuit complexity is improved. The circuit has capability to operate the Min/Max morphological operations. The simulation results show that Min/Max Circuit is successfully verified by the TSMC 0.35μm 2P4M CMOS technology. There have a great potential in the VLSI implementation used in the neural network systems to processing various applications.
