Abstract :
We present an analog VLSI Rank Order Filter (ROF), capable of ranking a wide array of inputs. Implementation is achieved using two multiple-winners-take-all blocks that compute in parallel. Circuit architecture and simulations show good speed, resolution, area and supply voltage performance. Design also offers for a variable rank of filter, which can be programmed at high speeds digitally
