Abstract

A Bio-inspired low-power logarithmic Current-to-Digital Converter is presented. The main building block of the CDC is a computing unit named Perceptgene (PG) that was inspired by molecular biology and has training and computing capabilities in the log domain (Rizik et al., 2022). The Perceptgene which models a nonlinear molecular behavior was implemented using a translinear subthreshold electronic circuit (Oren et al., 2023). Thus the CDC design which uses the Perceptgene building block operates more naturally in the Log domain and is expected to consume low power which can make it usable for biomedical applications.
