| Abstract | An efficient transistor level implementation of a flexible, programmable triangular function (TF) that can be used as a triangular neighborhood function (TNF) in ultra-low power, self-organizing maps (SOMs) realized as application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is presented. The proposed TNF block is a component of a larger neighborhood mechanism, whose role is to determine the distance between the winning neuron and all neighboring neurons. Detailed simulations carried out for the software model of such network show that the TNF forms a good approximation of the gaussian neighborhood function (GNF), while being implemented in a much easier way in hardware. The overall mechanism is very fast. In the CMOS 0.18 µm technology, distances to all neighboring neurons are determined in parallel, within the time not exceeding 11 ns, for an example neighborhood range, R, of 15. The TNF blocks in particular neurons require another 6 ns to calculate the output values directly used in the adaptation process. This is also performed in parallel in all neurons. As a result, after determining the winning neuron, the entire map is ready for the adaptation after the time not exceeding 17 ns, even for large numbers of neurons. This feature allows for the realization of ultra low power SOMs, which are hundred times faster than similar SOMs realized on PC. The signal resolution at the output of the TNF block has a dominant impact on the overall energy consumption as well as the silicon area. Detailed system level simulations of the SOM show that even for low resolutions of 3 to 6 bits, the learning abilities of the SOM are not affected. The circuit performance has been verified by means of transistor level Hspice simulations carried out for different transistor models and different values of supply voltage and the environment temperature - a typical procedure completed in case of commercial chips that makes the obtained results reliable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
