Abstract

Many practical applications require a comparison of the Hamming weights of two N-bit binary vectors. This comparison can be performed in a fully digital manner or by a mix of analog and digital techniques. In this paper, we propose a design in the latter category that exhibits advantages in speed and power dissipation compared with the best previous designs. The proposed design comprises of two switched-capacitor arrays associated with two comparators placed in parallel, collectively providing a complete comparison outcome of "", "
