Abstract:
1. A transmission apparatus for transmitting a spike event in a neuromorphic chip comprising the transmission apparatus, the transmission apparatus comprising: an address output unit configured to output addresses sequentially and repeatedly to an address bus; spike detection units configured to detect spikes generated by corresponding neurons; output-time detection units corresponding to the spike detection units, the output-time detection units being configured to detect a first time when one of the addresses being output sequentially and repeatedly becomes identical to an address of one of the neurons that has generated a spike after the spike generated by the neuron is detected by a corresponding one of the spike detection units; and a strobe output unit configured to output a strobe that represents time information about a spike occurrence time of the spike generated by the neuron when the corresponding one of the output-time detection units detects the first time.
