Abstract:
A convolution circuit includes: a plurality of input oscillators, each configured to: receive a corresponding analog input signal of a plurality of analog input signals; and output a corresponding spiking signal of a plurality of spiking signals, the corresponding spiking signal having a spiking rate in accordance with a magnitude of the corresponding analog input signal; a plurality of 1-bit DACs, each of the 1-bit DACs being configured to: receive the corresponding spiking signal of the plurality of spiking signals from a corresponding one of the input oscillators; and receive a corresponding weight of a convolution kernel comprising a plurality of weights; output a corresponding weighted output of a plurality of weighted outputs in accordance with the corresponding spiking signal and the corresponding weight; and an output oscillator configured to generate an output spike signal in accordance with the plurality of weighted outputs from the plurality of 1-bit DACs.
