This paper demonstrates an implementation of an asynchronous cellular processor array that facilitates binary trigger‐wave propagations, extensively used in various image‐processing algorithms. The circuit operates in a continuous‐time mode, achieving high operational performance and low‐power consumption. An integrated circuit with proof‐of‐concept array of 24×60 cells has been fabricated in a 0.35µm three‐metal CMOS process and tested. Occupying only 16×8µm 2 the binary wave‐propagation cell is designed to be used as a co‐processor in general‐purpose processor‐per‐pixel arrays intended for focal‐plane image processing. The results of global operations such as object reconstruction and hole filling are presented. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
