A method and an apparatus for processing an analog input signal and generating a corresponding analog output signal are disclosed. The input signal is supplied to an analog delay line comprising analog memory cells. A propagation signal causes the input signal to propagate through the sequence of memory cells in discrete time steps. Each memory cell is buffered and weighted by the stored analog parameters, and the sum of weighted memory cell values is accumulated as an analog signal. The result of accumulation is passed through an activation function. Multiple such blocks provide a convolutional neural network that works at extremely low power in comparison with its digital equivalent.

There is provided a circuit comprising a mirrored enhanced Howland current source, the mirrored enhanced Howland current source comprising an input and an output; and a feedback loop, the feedback loop comprising: an instrumentation amplifier arranged to measure a current at the output of the mirrored enhanced Howland current source; a comparator arranged to compare an output of the instrumentation amplifier to a reference voltage source; an integrator electrically coupled to the output of the comparator; a multiplier arranged to multiply the output of the integrator with the reference voltage, wherein the output of the multiplier is electrically coupled to the input of the mirrored enhanced Howland current source.

A method and an apparatus for processing an analog input signal using an analog neural network and generating a corresponding analog output signal are disclosed. An analog input interface is configured to supply a task input signal and a compensation input signal. One or more analog neuron circuits are connected to the analog input interface. An analog parameter storage array modifies task input signals and supplies these to an analog computation circuit that generates an output signal based on a combination of contributions from the modified task input signals and the compensation input signal.
