Nonlinear SC network analysis and synthesis for image processing

The author advances a general theory of analysis and synthesis of steady-state nonlinear switched-capacitor (SC) networks. The approach relies on steady-state behavior, and addresses several issues raised in the literature, such as the impact of surrounding circuitry, appropriate clock phasing, exactness of network solutions, and interconnection rules. A new nonlinear SC element is proposed that enables the synthesis of networks of arbitrary two-terminal voltage-controlled nonlinear resistors.<>
