Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a digital architecture for a Simplicial piecewise-linear (PWL) integrated circuit (IC). This design maximizes the IC throughput by using a enhance pipeline architecture and taking advantage of the maximum memory device performance. The system latency is also minimized in order to allow feedback implementations at maximum output speed. Simulations and experimental results on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation are included to showed the achieved performance.
