An Inhibitory Neural-Network Circuit Exhibiting Noise Shaping with Subthreshold MOS Neuron Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
We designed subthreshold analog MOS circuits implementing an inhibitory network model that performs noise-shaping pulse-density modulation with noisy neural elements. Our aim is to develop a possible ultralow-power delta-sigma-type one-bit analog-to-digital converter. Through circuit simulations we confirmed that the signal-to-noise ratio of the network was improved by 7.9 dB compared with that of the uncoupled one as a result of noise shaping.

Noise shaping pulse - density modulation in inhibitory neural networks with subthreshold VLSI neuron circuits
An inhibitory network model that performs noise-shaping pulse-density modulation [1] was implemented with subthreshold analog MOS circuits, aiming at the development of ultralow-power Σ∆-type AD converters. Through circuit simulations, we evaluate the effects of the noise shaping produced by the network circuit. Keywords—VLSI, pulse density modulation, noise shaping, chaotic neural networks 1 M...
متن کاملA subthreshold MOS neuron circuit based on the Volterra system
We present an analog neuron circuit consisting of a small number of metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices operating in their subthreshold region. The dynamics of the circuit were designed to be equivalent to the well-known Volterra system to facilitate developing the circuit for a particular application. We show that a simple nonlinear transformation of system variables in the Volterra system...
متن کاملSynchronization Properties of Pulse-Coupled Resonate-and-Fire Neuron Circuits and Their Application
Introduction: Recent advances in neuroscience suggest that spiking neurons in cortical area are classified into two categories: integrators and resonators [1]. These neurons are different in the sensitivity to the timing of stimulus, and therefore show different synchronization properties in pulse-coupled systems. It is interested that the distribution of such neurons are layer-specific and dep...
متن کاملA New Circuit Scheme for Wide Dynamic Circuits
In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...
متن کاملImplementation of a programmable neuron in CNTFET technology for low-power neural networks
Circuit-level implementation of a novel neuron has been discussed in this article. A low-power Activation Function (AF) circuit is introduced in this paper, which is then combined with a highly linear synapse circuit to form the neuron architecture. Designed in Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technology, the proposed structure consumes low power, which makes it suitable for the...
