Low Voltage Lazzaro's WTA with enhanced loop gain

An additional stage for a Low Voltage Lazzaro's Winner Take All (WTA) circuit is introduced. It allows lowering the voltage supply requirements so that it can be functional in fine line CMOS technology. Electrical measurements of a prototype in CMOS 0.5 µm technology verify the operation of the...

Descripción
Sumario:An additional stage for a Low Voltage Lazzaro's Winner Take All (WTA) circuit is introduced. It allows lowering the voltage supply requirements so that it can be functional in fine line CMOS technology. Electrical measurements of a prototype in CMOS 0.5 µm technology verify the operation of the WTA circuit with VDD=1.5V. Simulations in PSpice and stability issues are presented as well.
