SPIKE NEURAL NETWORK CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125552 titled 'SPIKE NEURAL NETWORK CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a spike neural network circuit that mimics the behavior of neurons in the brain.
- The circuit includes a weight storage that receives input spike signals and outputs data based on a weight.
- A charge sharing synaptic circuit generates a synaptic voltage based on the output data.
- A switched capacitor circuit naturally discharges the generated synaptic voltage.
- A voltage-to-current conversion circuit receives the synaptic voltage and generates a membrane voltage.
- A neuron circuit receives the membrane voltage and a threshold voltage and generates an output spike signal based on these inputs.
