Current‐mode programmable piecewise‐linear neural synapses
Marco Balsi, Giancarlo Giuliani · International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications · 2003
Abstract Cellular Neural Networks with piecewise linear connection have been proposed by several authors as a generalization of the basic paradigm, which allows for more complex functionality. None of the prototypes realized to date, however, provides for such kind of synapses. As a feasibility study, a current‐mode subthreshold CMOS piecewise‐linear synapse circuit is developed in this paper. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
