Abstract: Systems and methods of implementing a more efficient and less resource-intensive CNN are disclosed herein. In particular, applications of CNN in the analog domain using Sampled Analog Technology (SAT) methods are disclosed. Using a CNN design with SAT results in lower power usage and faster operation as compared to a CNN design with digital logic and memory. The lower power usage of a CNN design with SAT can allow for sensor devices that also detect features at very low power for isolated operation.
