Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNeural-Based Models of Semiconductor Devices for SPICE SimulatorHanene Ben Hammouda, Mongia Mhiri, Zièd Gafsi, Kamel BesbesThe paper addresses a simple and fast new approach to implement Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models for the MOS transistor into SPICE. The proposed approach involves two steps, the modeling phase of the device by NN providing its input/output patterns, and the SPICE implementation process of the resulting model. Using the Taylor series expansion, a neural based small-signal model is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA New Efficient-Silicon Area MDAC SynapseZied Gafsi, Nejib Hassen, Mongia Mhiri, Kamel BesbesUsing the binary representation ΣiDi2i in the Multiplier digital to analog converter (MDAC) synapse designs have crucial drawbacks. Silicon area of transistors, constituting the MDAC circuit, increases exponentially according to the number of bits. This latter is generated by geometric progression of common ratio equal to 2. To reduce this exponential increase to a linear growth, a new synapse named … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
