Abstract

In this paper we present an analog winner-take-all MOS VLSI (metal-oxide semiconductor/very large scale integration) optoelectronic network. By varying either the input current or circuit parameters, the circuit can evidence several different behaviors such as contrast enhancement, strict winner-take-all, or winner-take-all with hysteresis. Simulation and experimental results from the prototype circuit are also discussed
