Abstract

Cellular Neural Networks (CNNs) represents a computational paradigm which has evolved to cover a very broad class of problems and applications. Different implementations of CNNs using digital and analog technologies can be found in the literature. In this paper, a new hardware implementation is proposed that uses Pulse Stream Techniques (PST). PST techniques allow the implementation of large arrays of CNNs with programmable synapses, combining the best of both, digital and analog worlds.
