FPAA Based on Integration of CMOS and Nanojunction Devices for Neuromorphic Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel field programmable analog arrays (FPAA) architecture, namely, NueroFPAA, is introduced to utilize nanodevices to build a programmable neuromorphic system. By using nanodevices as programmable components, the proposed FPAA can achieve high-density and low-power operations for neuromorphic applications. The routing and function blocks of the FPAA are specifically designed so that this proposed architecture can support large-scale neuromorphic design as well as various analog circuitries.

Analog Module Architecture for Space-Qualified Field-Programmable Mixed-Signal Arrays
Spacecraft require all manner of both digital and analog circuits. Onboard digital systems are constructed almost exclusively from field-programmable gate array (FPGA) circuits providing numerous advantages over discrete design including high integration density, high reliability, fast turn-around design cycle time, lower mass, volume, and power consumption, and lower parts acquisition and flig...
متن کاملExploring Boolean and Non-Boolean Computing Applications of Spin Torque Devices
In this paper we discuss the potential of emerging spintorque devices for computing applications. Recent proposals for spinbased computing schemes may be differentiated as ‘all-spin’ vs. hybrid, programmable vs. fixed, and, Boolean vs. non-Boolean. Allspin logic-styles may offer high area-density due to small form-factor of nano-magnetic devices. However, circuit and system-level design techniq...

We present a design-scheme for ultra-low power neuromorphic hardware using emerging spindevices. We propose device models for ‘neuron’, based on lateral spin valves and domain wall magnets that can operate at ultra-low terminal voltage of ~20 mV, resulting in small computation energy. Magnetic tunnel junctions are employed for interfacing the spin-neurons with charge-based devices like CMOS, fo...

Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM), or memristive, devices promise energy-efficient realization of deep learning, when efficiently integrated with mixed-signal integrated circuits on a CMOS substrate. Even though several algorithmic challenges need to be addressed to turn the vision of memristive Neuromorphic Systems-on-a-Chip (NeuSoCs) into reality, issues at the device and circuit interface n...
متن کاملScaling Floating-Gate Devices Predicting Behavior for Programmable and Configurable Circuits and Systems
Abstract: This paper presents scaling of Floating-Gate (FG) devices, and the resulting implication to large-scale Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA) systems. The properties of FG circuits and systems in one technology (e.g., 350 nm CMOS) are experimentally shown to roughly translate to FG circuits in scaled down processes in a way predictable through MOSFET physics concepts. Scaling FG dev...
