SPIKE NEURAL NETWORK CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125553 titled 'SPIKE NEURAL NETWORK CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a spike neural network circuit that includes a pulse generator, current source arrays, a membrane capacitor, and switches.

  • The circuit receives an input spike signal and generates modulation pulses based on the input signal.
  • The current source arrays are controlled by a weight memory.
  • The first switch delivers a calculation signal from the first current source array to the membrane capacitor in response to the first modulation pulse.
  • The second switch delivers a calculation signal from the second current source array to the membrane capacitor in response to the second modulation pulse.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a spike neural network circuit which includes a pulse generator that receives an input spike signal and generates a first modulation pulse and a second modulation pulse based on the input spike signal, first and second current source arrays controlled based on a weight memory, a membrane capacitor, a first switch that delivers a first calculation signal generated from the first current source array to the membrane capacitor, in response to the first modulation pulse, and a second switch that delivers a second calculation signal generated from the second current source array to the membrane capacitor, in response to the second modulation pulse.
