    摘要: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure support techniques for training of synapses in biologically inspired networks. Only one device based on a memristor can be used as a synaptic connection between a pair of neurons. The training of synaptic weights can be achieved with a low current consumption. A proposed synapse training circuit may be shared by a plurality of incoming/outgoing connections, while only one digitally implemented pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator can be utilized per neuron circuit for generating synapse-training pulses. Only up to three phases of a slow clock can be used for both the neuron-to-neuron communications and synapse training. Some special control signals can be also generated for setting up synapse training events. By means of these signals, the synapse training circuit can be in a high-impedance state outside the training events, thus the synaptic resistance (i.e., the synaptic weight) is not affected outside the training process.

    摘要: One feature pertains to a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that comprises a variable capacitor and noise reduction circuitry. The variable capacitor has a variable capacitance value that controls an output frequency of the DCO. The variable capacitance value is based on a first bank capacitance value provided by a first capacitor bank, a second bank capacitance value provided by a second capacitor bank, and an auxiliary bank capacitance value provided by an auxiliary capacitor bank. The noise reduction circuitry is adapted to adjust the variable capacitance value by adjusting the auxiliary bank capacitance value while maintaining at least one of the first bank capacitance value and/or the second bank capacitance value substantially unchanged. Prior to adjusting the variable capacitance value, the noise reduction circuitry may determine that a received input DCO control word transitions across a capacitor bank sensitive boundary.

    摘要: A time-to-digital converter converts the difference between transition times of a reference clock signal and an oscillating signal to a digital signal whose value is proportional to the transitions timing difference. The time-to-digital converter includes an edge detector, a time-to-voltage converter, and an analog-to-digital converter. The edge detector is adapted to detect, during each period of the reference clock signal, the edge (transition) of the oscillating signal that is closest to the edge of the reference clock signal. The time-to-voltage converter is adapted to generate an analog signal proportional to a difference in time between the detected edge of the oscillating signal and the edge of the reference clock signal. The analog-to-digital converter is adapted to convert the analog signal to a digital signal whose value is proportional the difference between the occurrence of the detected edge of the oscillating signal and the edge of the reference clock signal.
