Abstract
A special purpose neural IC is described which will be utilised in a data-acquisition system in DESY (Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron). The analog CMOS VLSI chip implements a 70×4×1 fully interconnected feed-forward network and is capable of classifying 70 dimensional data-vectors within 50 ns. The high speed is essential for the real-time data processing and data-reduction. The classifier has to perform fixed function, therefore programming is not essential. The neural chip is under fabrication with 2.5 μm double metal CMOS process, occupies 65×4 mm2 silicon area, dissipates 2W at 5V power supply, performs 6 billion multiplications per second and has 1.5 GBytes/s equivalent input bandwidth.
