An analog current-mode multiple-input Max/min circuit

Abstract

This paper presents an analog modular multiple-input Max/Min circuit, which operates in the current-mode. The maximum and minimum functions are incorporated into the same scheme with parallel processing. The realization method is suitable for fabrication using CMOS technology. The proposed circuit has a very sharp transfer characteristic and is useful building block for the real-time systems, The performances of the proposed Max/Min, circuit were studied using the PSPICE analog simulation program. The simulation results verified the circuit performances are agreed with the expected values.
