Synthesis Of Dynamic Multiple-Input Translinear Element Networks, Bradley Minch
Synthesis Of Dynamic Multiple-Input Translinear Element Networks, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
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.

We have devised a systematic method of transforming high-level time-domain descriptions of linear and nonlinear adaptive signal-processing algorithms into compact, continuous-time analog circuitry using basic units called multiple-input translinear elements (MITEs). In this paper, we describe the current state of the art and illustrate the method with an example of an analog phase-locked loop (PLL).
