Synthesis of static multiple input multiple output MITE networks

Multiple input translinear elements (MITE) networks can be used to implement a wide variety of static and dynamic functions. The basic product-of-power law MITE circuit is characterized by an input connectivity matrix and an output connectivity matrix. Given a desired product-of-power law function, we describe a synthesis procedure that generates the connectivity matrices. This multiple-input-multiple-output synthesis has distinct advantages over the existing multiple-input-single-output synthesis by requiring lesser (or at most the same) number of MITEs and by being suitable for automated synthesis. MITE networks in which all the MITEs do not have the same number of gates are transformed into MITE networks in which the number of gates are transformed into MITE networks in which the number of gates is the same by a procedure called completion. We describe a novel completion procedure for these product-of-power law circuits.
