In this paper a VLSI implementation of a 3 × 3 cell digitally programmable cellular neural networks (CNN) with discrete templates is presented. This chip is the first successfully tested, multichip‐oriented CNN chip. In fact, this chip has been designed to be easily interconnected to others to carry out very large CNN arrays. This feature has been verified in a two‐chip prototype board. The fully programmable capability covers most of the available one‐neighbourhood fixed templates.
