ABSTRACT:
A threshold circuit that uses capacitors to form a weighted sum of its inputs uses a two stage capacitor structure. The two stages form a compact structure that increases the number of input signals that can be handled and increases the flexibility in assigning the weights to the input signals. Capacitor electrodes for the input signals are arranged in two sets and the electrodes of each set are electrostatically coupled to first and second electrodes. Third and fourth electrodes, which extend from the first and second electrodes respectively, are electrostatically coupled to a unitary structure of fifth and sixth electrodes where their voltages are summed. The fifth and sixth electrodes are conductively connected to the gate of an FET threshold circuit that responds to the weighted and summed input signals.
