Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A winner-take-all circuit has been constructed in a very simple manner using a highly functional device called neuron MOSFET(abbreviated as νMOS)which simulates the behavior of biologi cal neurons.The circuit can find the largest data and identify its location among a large number of input data.The circuit has been applied to build an associative memory which can seek the most similar data in the memory to a reference data shown to the memory. Since the search for the most similar data is conducted by fully parallel processing at a transistor level,no time consuming software manipulation of data is required.This approach is different both in principle and architecture from the so called Hopfield neural network.Measurements results on test circuits fabricated by a standard double polysilicon CMOS process and circuit simulation results are presented and discussed.
