Abstract :
In this paper a prototype AB class programmable synaptic connection and WTA circuit that set foundations for low power VLSI neural networks and other applications are proposed. The analysis of the circuits is given, layouts of the circuits designed and then the prototype CMOS circuits have been manufactured and measured. Measured characteristics have been compared to simulated ones
