Patent ID: 11868870

Abstract:
A neuromorphic apparatus configured to process a multi-bit neuromorphic operation including a single axon circuit, a single synaptic circuit, a single neuron circuit, and a controller. The single axon circuit is configured to receive, as a first input, an i-th bit of an n-bit axon. The single synaptic circuit is configured to store, as a second input, a j-th bit of an m-bit synaptic weight and output a synaptic operation value between the first input and the second input. The single neuron circuit is configured to obtain each bit value of a multi-bit neuromorphic operation result between the n-bit axon and the m-bit synaptic weight, based on the output synaptic operation value. The controller is configured to respectively determine the i-th bit and the j-th bit to be sequentially assigned for each time period of different time periods to the single axon circuit and the single synaptic circuit.
