✦ Synopsis

A general comparison with regard to speed and size of digital neural hardware on different levels of parallelism results in the design of a fully parallel architecture based on a bit-serial neural hardware model with a new quadratic squashing function. This nonlinear squashing function is well suited for small parallel digital hardware implementations. A cascadable semicustom chip containing six neurons was designed based on this model. This neurochip is used in the hardware implementation of a neurocontroller. The controller is developed for the lateral control of a vehicle and trained from only 6000 samples of human driving behavior recorded on a German federal highway.

Biologically inspired analog VLSI systems have attracted more and more studies. For system consistency and for quick application of neural systems, we have established digital models for neuron operations such that the cell operations can be implemented with simple digital adders and multipliers. To
