A fully digitally programmable CNN chip

The successful development of cellular neural networks is dependent on hardware implementation. This letter presents a VLSI implementation of a multichip-oriented, fully programmable, 3/spl times/3 digitally programmable cellular neural network (DPCNN). This chip covers most of the available one-neighborhood templates for image processing applications. Moreover, it can be easily interconnected to others to carry out very large CNN arrays.<
