A high‐performance current‐mode, multi‐input winner‐take‐all maximum circuit is introduced. Owing to low‐impedance low‐capacitance input nodes involved, the speed of the new circuit is higher than major counterparts. Simulation results show that the new circuit exhibits superior performance compared with well‐known rival counterparts in terms of speed, area, dynamic range and power dissipation.
