Implementing Homeostatic Plasticity in Analog VLSI

Neuromorphic engineering systems are electronic devices that emulate the spike based computational paradigm. CMOS processes scaling yield mismatch and non-ideality that limit the performances of the device. A neuromorphic approach to address this problem is to implement the SHP in silicon. The SHP is implemented by an AGC with a LPF with long time constants. Given such LPF challenging specifications, I developed a compact CMOS filter architecture based on leakages currents in a pMOS device
