摘要
In this paper, a hardware-realized neuromorphic system for pattern recognition is presented. The system directly captures images from the environment, and then conducts classification using a single layer neural network. Metal-oxide resistive random access memory (RRAM) is used as electronic synapses, and threshold-controlled neurons are proposed as postsynaptic neurons to save the system area and simplify the operation. In the proposed threshold-controlled neuron, no capacitor is utilized, which contributes to higher integration density. The total energy consumption of RRAM synapses for classifying an example is 0.31 mu J on average. The proposed system has been implemented on hardware, and has been experimentally demonstrated to show the capability of pattern recognition.
