Reaction-diffusion dynamics have been proposed to explain pattern-formation behavior in a variety of systems, e.g., chemical and biological. This paper describes a cellular neural network chip that exhibits spatially organized patterns of activity, which are formed by reaction diffusion. The chip contains four 32 32 cell arrays of transistors which are locally coupled and operate in weak inversion. Typical patterns consist of alternating regions of high- and low-drain currents with a preferred width, but no preferred orientation. Experimental, theoretical, and simulation results for this chip are in complete concordance, demonstrating that conventional very large-scale integration tech- nology can be an ideal substrate for studying the spatio-temporal dynamics and applications of reaction-diffusion. The chip, which was fabricated in a 0.5- m process, settles to steady-state patterns within several hundred microseconds and dissipates 10.55 mW.
