  • Abstract
    We propose a new programmable bump circuit using floating-gate transistors with a simple topology. The center and the width of this bump circuit are orthogonally tunable and programmable. The input signal range is rail to rail and the power consumption does not change dramatically while varying the width. Therefore, this circuit is suitable for low power applications. We use a vector-quantizer as an example to illustrate how this circuit fits into a large scale network.
