Abstract :
A current-mode CMOS circuit implementation of a cellular neural network is discussed. The implementation mimics classical cellular automata and has been designed for image processing. Signals are processed in current mode using simple current mirrors, inverters, and sources. Simulations for networks constructed have shown effectiveness in edge detection and noise removal
