Abstract
This work introduces a compact, ultra-low power (3.3nW) Gaussian circuit architecture for Kernel function emulation. It has independent and electronically adjustable mean value, amplitude and deviation, operating with 0.6V power supply. It consists of a current correlator and a bulk-controlled differential block, with all transistors operating in sub-threshold. Proper operation, accuracy and sensitivity are confirmed via post-layout simulation results and theoretical analysis. It was implemented in TSMC 90nm CMOS process and simulated using the Cadence IC Suite.
本文介绍了一种用于核函数仿真的紧凑、超低功耗(3.3nW)高斯电路架构。具有独立的、电子可调的平均值、幅值和偏差,工作电源为0.6V。它由一个电流相关器和一个体控差分块组成,所有晶体管都工作在亚阈值下。通过布局后仿真结果和理论分析,验证了该方法的正确性、精度和灵敏度。采用台积电90nm CMOS工艺实现,并采用Cadence IC Suite进行仿真。
