摘要
In this manuscript a novel current-mode technique to implement generic Piecewise-Linear (PWL) functions is presented. The main characteristic of the proposed circuits is that errors are not accumulated by adding linear segments; instead they are local, providing more robust designs. The proposed circuits are designed in a standard 0.18 mu m CMOS process with 1.8V power supply. Their operation is based on high precision current mirrors, Winner-Take-All (WTA) and Loser-Take-All (LTA) architectures. Robustness was verified by Monte Carlo analysis and temperature variations from -40 degrees C to 80 degrees C.
