摘要

Activation Function (AF) is the heart of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). It is typical building block of ANN which is difficult to implement in hardware. Besides, while attempting to design the AF in hardware, the designs should comply with the modern VLSI design. The two important requirements for contemporary VLSI design are: the designs should be implemented in only MOS technology and should operate at ultra-low voltage. One of the promising circuit design techniques for achieving these goals is companding. In this paper, the low-voltage design of three AFs, Tanh, Unipolar Sigmoidal, and Bipolar Sigmoidal, using Sinh-Domain (SD) technique are introduced. The SD blocks have been implemented using MOS transistors in weak inversion which ensures the low voltage operation of the circuits in addition to that provided by the companding technique itself. The AFs are subsequently used to design the neural networks which have been trained in MATLAB environment to perform AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XOR logic functions. To extend the application of trained gates to multilayer neural network, the two XOR gates have been configured to design 3-bit grey to binary code converter which as a result becomes a two-layer network. The performance of the AFs and neural network has been evaluated through simulation results, using the HSPICE software with the MOS transistor models provided by the 0.35 μm AMS CMOS process.
