“…In general, development of these systems seems to be focused towards digital systems, although there has been some work done in the analog domain [10,42]. Current neural network hardware technological advancements were more closely examined, and it was found that while there was a broad range of implementation techniques, the majority of efforts could be classified as an analog [1,9,27,2], digital [11,37,44,48,49], or hybrid (mixed-signal) [30,18,19] solution. Analog systems are preferred for large productions, very low power, very high sample rate or bandwidth, and small size.…”
