Claim 9:
10. A neural network comprising an input layer, an output layer, and one or more hidden layers provided between the input layer and the output layer, said one or more hidden layers including a plurality of arithmetic apparatuses, each of the arithmetic apparatuses comprising:
a plurality of digital-time conversion circuits connected in series, each of the digital-time conversion circuits being configured to delay a first input time signal by a variable amount, delay a second input time signal by a fixed amount, and output the delayed first and second input time signals respectively as either first and second output time signals or second and first output time signals, in accordance with input data; and
a time-digital conversion circuit connected to a last digital-time conversion circuit in the series, and configured to generate a digital output signal based on first and second output time signals from the last digital-time conversion circuit, wherein
in each of the arithmetic apparatuses, the time-digital conversion circuit outputs, as the digital output signal, the first output time signal from the last digital-time conversion circuit at a timing of transition of a value of the second output time signal from the last digital-time conversion circuit.
