Abstract :
A new circuit implementation of the Kohonen neural networks is proposed. A novel winner-take-all circuit is developed and digital counters are used to store and update the weights. An experimental chip of this system has been fabricated by 1.2 mu m CMOS technology. A architecture is also proposed for these chips to be combined together to form a larger net.
