A hardware implementation of neural circuit of maximal/minimal value discrete-time signal identification
A hardware implementation in FPGA based reconfigurable computing architecture of discrete-time neural circuit that is capable of identifying the K largest/smallest of any unknown finite value N distinct inputs, where 1 ≤ K < N is presented. The circuit has low computational and hardware implementation complexity, high speed of signal processing, it is capable to process signals of any finite range, possesses signal order preserving property and does not require resetting and corresponding supervisory circuit that increases a speed of signal processing.
