    摘要: A method is provided of initializing a chip having synaptic NVRAM cells connected row-wise by word lines and column-wise by bit lines. The method includes selecting each word line through a row decoder connected to all word lines to switch all synaptic NVRAM cells of the selected lines. The method includes driving, on the selected lines, a wave generated by a PLL circuit connected to the row decoder. The method includes generating standing waves from the wave on the selected lines by implementing a resonance detection point at an input end of each word line. The method includes applying a write voltage on all bit lines through a column decoder connected to all bit lines. The method includes simultaneously driving each of the synaptic NVRAM cells of the selected lines by different writing currents for different durations in order to set different analog values to the synaptic NVRAM cells.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is provided for refreshing cells in a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)-based neuromorphic circuit wherein synapses are each composed of a respective cell pair formed from a respective Gp cell and a respective Gm cell of the cells. The method includes randomly selecting multiple neurons and reading a Gp conductance and a Gm conductance of any of the synapses connected to the multiple neurons. The method further includes selecting any of the synapses connected to the selected multiple neurons for which any of the Gp conductance or the Gm conductance have reached a maximum conductance. The method also includes resetting the Gp cell and Gm cell of the selected synapses, and setting, at most, one of the Gp cell and Gm cell of each of the selected synapses to recover an effective total weight of each of the selected synapses.

    摘要: A neuromorphic electric system includes a network of plural neuron circuits connected in series and in parallel to form plural layers. Each of the plural neuron circuits includes: a soma circuit that stores a charge supplied thereto and outputs a spike signal; and plural synapse circuits that supply a charge to the soma circuit according to a spike signal fed to the synapse circuits, a number of the plural synapse circuits being one more than a number of plural neuron circuits in a prior layer outputting the spike signal to the synapse circuits. One of the plural synapse circuits supplies a charge to the soma circuit in response to receiving a series of pulse signals, and the others of the plural synapse circuits supply a charge to the soma circuit in response to receiving a spike signal from corresponding neuron circuits in the prior layer.

    摘要: A system including multiple nodes performing radio communication, wherein each node stores routing information, uses it to determine a transmission path, and performs cut-through transmission by transmitting and receiving packets to and from a node on the determined path through transmission and reception radio waves given a directivity by controlling their phases. In the system, time synchronization and transmission and reception of packet communication records are performed during a certain time period by carrying out the cut-through transmission while controlling phases of the radio waves so that all of the nodes form one or more closed loops. The node transmits and receives packets in accordance with routing information and a time frame assigned to each of the nodes as a time when each node is allowed to transmit and receive a packet, updates the routing information, and shares it with each node.

    摘要: An analog Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) cell is provided. The analog MRAM cell includes a magnetic free layer having a first domain having a first magnetization direction, a second domain having a second magnetization direction opposite to the first magnetization direction and a domain wall located between the first domain and the second domain. The analog MRAM cell further includes a magnetically pinned layer. The analog MRAM cell also includes an insulating tunnel barrier between the magnetic free layer and the magnetically pinned layer. The analog MRAM cell additionally includes an electrode located adjacent to the magnetic free layer configured to generate heat by supplying current to decrease a conductance of the magnetic free layer.
