Abstract: Provided is a technology for reducing hardware cost and enabling on-chip learning in a neuromorphic system. A synapse array includes a plurality of synapse circuits, and at least one of the plurality of synapse circuits includes at least bias transistor and a switch connected in series. Synapse circuits in the same row and column direction of the synapse array are connected to each other through a shared membrane line, and a charge amount proportional to a multiplication accumulation operation required for a forward or backward operation is supplied through the membrane line and is converted into a final digital value for output through an analog to digital converter. A virtual look-up table performs in advance a calculation required for a synapse weight update for learning of at least one column of the synapse array and is updated, so that the amount of a calculation required for entire learning is reduced.
