As applications of the Self-Organising Map emerge in portable devices, power dissipation becomes a crucial design issue. The digital implementation of the SOM which is introduced in this paper meets low power requirements by means of increasing silicon area while reducing the number of clock cycles required to process each element of an input vector. Designs of a single neuron requiring two clock cycles, one clock cycle, and 5 clock cycle per element of the input vector are presented. The designs offer a reduction in power of a factor of 3 for an increase in silicon area of some 33%. The contribution of each routine composing training and classification to total power is also illustrated. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
