Abstract
A novel architecture for winner-take-all (WTA) and looser-take-all (LTA) circuits is proposed. As compared with other realisations, the LTA does not require input subtraction from a reference, which decreases accuracy and input dynamics. The architectures have been designed using the gm/ID methodology. As it will be shown, this method allows a rapid new dimensioning when specifications are modified. Both the WTA and the LTA can operate with low voltage supply, and show better speed characteristics (delay and raising time) for a 6 bits accuracy and a typical consumption of 50 μW/cell than previous realisations.
