Thesis: Ultra Low-Noise Arithmetic using Cellular Neural Networks
In this work we develop circuit architectures for mixed-signal applications where the presence of digital switching noise is a major problem; for example, digital circuitry adjacent to sensitive biosensors. We describe methods for building ultra low-noise binary arithmetic circuits using analog cellular neural networks (CNNs), essentially implementing asynchronous digital circuits but replacing uncontrolled digital switching transitions with smooth analog transitions. Each node in our asynchronous architectures uses controlled current sources driving into capacitors; providing both low current and voltage time derivatives (di/dt and dv/dt) and, as a result, reducing both instantaneous and average system and cross-talk noise.
