Abstract |
In this paper, we proposed the current conveyor-based integrate and fire (I&F) neuron circuit. Since the current conveyor has a stable input-node voltage holding capability and excellent current carrying capability, the proposed neuron circuit transmits the input current stably from the synapse array to the membrane capacitor. We demonstrated the advantage of the proposed neuron circuit over the conventional I&F neuron circuit through a circuit simulation (Cadence Spectre simulation). The proposed neuron circuit could be a promising solution for very-large-scale neuromorphic system to implement spiking neural networks. |
