Patent ID: 11501143

Abstract:
A reconfigurable neural circuit includes an array of processing nodes. Each processing node includes a single physical neuron circuit having only one input and an output, a single physical synapse circuit having a presynaptic input, and a single physical output coupled to the input of the neuron circuit, a weight memory for storing N synaptic conductance value or weights having an output coupled to the single physical synapse circuit, a single physical spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) circuit having an output coupled to the weight memory, a first input coupled to the output of the neuron circuit, and a second input coupled to the presynaptic input, and interconnect circuitry connected to the presynaptic input and connected to the output of the single physical neuron circuit. The synapse circuit and the STDP circuit are each time multiplexed circuits. The interconnect circuitry in each respective processing node is coupled to the interconnect circuitry in each other processing node.
