Abstract A new integrated circuit cellular neural network implementation with digitally or continuously selectable template coefficients is presented. Local logic and memory are added into each cell, providing a simple dual (analogue and digital) computing structure. Variable gain OTAs are used as the voltage‐controlled current sources to programme the template element values. the cells have local switched feedback (both analogue and digital) to feed from the output to the input or state capacitor. Therefore this analogue array processor can be applied to solve problems with a sequence of different templates. A 4 × 4 CNN circuit is realized using the 2 μm analogue CMOS process.
