Abstract :
An analysis of a currently available analog neuron model is presented and an elementary processor is developed as a neuron-like element in a digital system. The elementary processors are composed of digital cells which are the most primitive elements in a digital system. A network of digital cells can be used to implement any digital logic functions and the elementary processor is the systematic organization of the digital cells. One of the interesting properties found in the elementary processors is the capability of developing control structures such as the IF/THEN structure. The other interesting property is the generality of the elementary processors in which any arbitrary logical function can be realized
