Abstract :
A versatile integrated circuit based on the Hamming artificial neural network (ANN) architecture is presented. The circuit operation relies on capacitive processing of sum-of-products terms, complemented with digital post-processing allowing various complex functions to be processed on chip, with a minimal hardware overhead. VLSI realization and measurements are discussed.
