In this thesis , various CMOS current-mode analog circuitsas
squarer , multiplier , absolute value circuit ,quare-rooter and
current minimum-maximum circuit for analogignal processing and
analog computing are designed andnalyzed first . The processor
architecture is flexible and modular tommodate different
applications . It contains parallelomputational units and a
serial port so that it can bexpanded to a larger system by
connecting the serial portsf the chip sets together . An
experimental chip containing the processor with fourwo-operand
inputs and its subcircuits has been designed andabricated in
0.8 um CMOS double-poly double-metal n-wellechnology . The
SPICE DC and transient analysis results asell as the
experimental results have been demonstrated toerify the
function and the performance of the designedircuits and the
processor .
