Patent ID: 11962321
Assignee: POSTECH RESEARCH AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. An analog-stochastic converter, comprising:
a threshold switching element configured to receive a pulse signal corresponding to an analog signal and be turned on according to the pulse signal to output a turn-on signal; and
a probability conversion circuit configured to detect the turn-on signal output from the threshold switching element and convert the analog signal into a probability signal using the detected turn-on signal,
wherein the probability conversion circuit includes:
a transistor which is configured to receive the turn-on signal and in which a sample signal is to be applied to a gate thereof;
a capacitor connected to the transistor and configured to store the turn-on signal;
a NOT gate configured to receive a storage signal stored in the capacitor and invert the storage signal to output an inverted signal; and
a NOR gate configured to receive the inverted signal and the pulse signal and output the probability signal.
