Square-Root-Domain Realization of Single-Cell Architecture of Complex TDCNN

Square-root-domain (SRD) CMOS analog realization of a single cell architecture of the complex Temporal Derivative Cellular Neural Networks (TDCNNs) is introduced in this paper. TDCNN initiates time derivative ‘diffusion’ between CNN cells for non-separable spatiotemporal filtering applications, where the input to the CNN is an image that changes over time. The evaluation of the performance of the complex SRD TDCNN cell has been done using the Cadence Orcad software with TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS process model parameters. The provided simulated results confirm the validity of the theory.
