Abstract :
The dynamic behavior of a unique pulse-coded winner-take-all (PWTA) mechanism is described. Parameters which affect PWTA mechanism dynamics are discussed. It is shown that three distinct kinds of behavior can be observed in the vicinity of winning unit boundaries. The first occurs in the infinite precision case where boundaries exhibit ideal behavior. With finite parameter precision, either hysteresis or multiple unit response can be observed over transition regions in the vicinity of ideal boundaries. The interconnect properties of this network make it an attractive candidate for IC implementation
