An analysis of CNN settling time

The settling time of cellular neural networks (CNNs) is crucial for both simulation and applications of VLSI CNN chips. The computational effort for the numerical integration may be drastically reduced, and CNN programs can be optimized, if a priori knowledge on the settling time is available. Moreover, this allows the parameters necessary to achieve higher processing speed to be tuned. For certain template classes, we present analytic solutions, while for others, tight upper bounds are given.
