Design and implementation of current mode circuit for digital modulation

This paper proposes a new current-mode digital modulation circuit. The proposed circuit is MOS only hence, easily integrable. It employs an Extra X Current Conveyor (EX-CCII), two MOS transistors as switches, and a two MOS transistor-based active resistor. The amplitude shift keying/phase shift keying/frequency shift keying (ASK/PSK/FSK) modulator is obtained by proper selection of carriers (I_C1, I_C2). This circuit provides the current output signal at high output impedance, which is favorable for cascading. Also, the circuit is employing only MOS transistors, so it can be monolithically IC implementable. The effects of non-idealities and parasitics of the active element on the circuit performance are also investigated in detail. The functionality of the proposed digital modulator is verified through the Cadence Virtuoso tool using 0.18 μm Generic Process Design Kits parameters with the ±0.9 V supply voltage. The total area of the layout is 968.75 μm². Also, the experimental results are verified by using the IC AD-844 and IC CD4007.     

Motion Perception Using Analog VLSI

Motion perception is arguably a fundamental mechanism used by natural species to accomplish a number of tasks, such as navigating freely in an unknown environment. Traditional motion perception methods tend to be computationally intensive, requiring powerful computers and large memories. However, by copying biological mechanisms, such as elementary motion discrimination at the early stages of the visual processing paths, it should be possible to build small and efficient motion perception systems. This paper describes the manner in which a simple motion perception model based on the insect visual system has been implemented using mixed analog/digital VLSI. The device has been fabricated in a 2 micron double metal, double polysilicon process, and comprises 61 photo-detectors, and associated analog and digital circuitry. While not entirely successful in that component mismatches hamper the detection of dark-to-bright changes in contrast, the results clearly show the feasibility of using such a device in autonomous control systems.     

Analog VLSI Circuits for Competitive Learning Networks

An investigation is made concerning implementations of competitive learning algorithms in analog VLSI circuits and systems. Analog and low power digital circuits for competitive learning are currently important for their applications in computationally-efficient speech and image compression by vector quantization, as required for example in portable multi-media terminals. A summary of competitive learning models is presented to indicate the type of VLSI computations required, and the effects of weight quantization are discussed. Analog circuit representations of computational primitives for learning and evaluation of distortion metrics are discussed. The present state of VLSI implementations of hard and soft competitive learning algorithms are described, as well as those for topological feature maps. Tolerance of learning algorithms to observed analog circuit properties is reported. New results are also presented from simulations of frequency-sensitive and soft competitive learning concerning sensitivity of these algorithms to precision in VLSI learning computations. Applications of these learning algorithms to unsupervised feature extraction and to vector quantization of speech and images are also described.
