A mixed-signal Cellular Visual Microprocessor architecture with digital processors is
described. An ASIC implementation is also demonstrated. The architecture is composed of a
regular sensor readout circuit array, prepared for 3D face-to-face type integration, and one or
several cascaded array of mainly identical (SIMD) processing elements. The individual array
elements derived from the same general HDL description and could be of different in size, aspect
ratio, and computing resources
