Abstract
A circuit implementing a soft logical processing network includes an interconnection of analog processing elements, which can include soft logic gates, the soft logic gates including one or more soft logic gates. In some examples, each of the soft logic gates include multiple circuit parts, with each part including an input configured to accept a voltage signal representation of a soft logical quantity, and a conversion section configured to use the accepted voltage representation to form a corresponding current signal. The current signals are combined to form a signal representation of the output of the gate.
