Abstract

The neuMOS transistor is a comparatively new device developed in 1991 at Tohoku University, Japan, which is currently showing great promise in the direction of enhanced circuit functionality, particularly in Neural Network applications. In this paper we examine the possibilities of applying the inherent enhanced functionality of the neuMOS transistor to analogue and digital BIST. A novel concept is introduced which can extend existing sw-opamp structures. Finally, potential outgoing quality enhancement in VLSI neuMOS circuits over the CMOS equivalents are considered.
