Abstract

A realization of the Mihalas–Niebur neuron model using the concept of the Sinh-Domain filtering is introduced in this Letter. This is achieved through the utilization of Sinh-Domain lossy integrator stages which offer the benefits of electronic tuning of the realized time-constants, while the inherent class-AB nature allows the handling of signals with amplitude greater than the dc bias current. The behavior of the proposed model for various patterns of stimuli is evaluated through the Analog Design Environment of the Cadence software and MOS transistor models provided by the AMS C35 0.35 µm process.
