Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch

Bradley Minch

A procedure for synthesizing multiple-input translinear element (MITE) networks that implement a given system of translinear-loop equations (STLE) is presented. The minimum number of MITEs required for implementing the STLE, which is equal to the number of current variables in the STLE, is attained. The number of input gates ofthe MITEs is minimal amongst those MITE networks that satisfy the STLE and have the minimum number of MITEs. The synthesized MITE networks have a unique operating point and, in many cases, the network is guaranteed to be stable in a particular sense. This synthesis procedure exploits the relationship between MITEproduct-of-power-law …

In this paper, the author discusses an approach to the synthesis of dynamic translinear circuits built from multiple-input translation elements (MITEs). In this method, we realize separately the basic static nonlinearities and dynamic signal-processing functions that when cascaded together, form the system that one wishes to construct. The circuit is then simplified systematically through local transformations that do not alter the behavior of the system. The author illustrates the method by synthesizing a simple nonlinear dynamical system, an RMS-DC converter.
