Expendable Modular Chips for Feedforward Neural Nets

Abstract

Simple nonlinear synapse circuit proposes for implementation of artificial neural networks using standard CMOS technology. The operation of the proposed synapse circuit has been verified using HSPICE circuit simulator. A 9x3 module chip has been designed and fabricating using MOSIS AMI 1.5 (am double-metal double-poly CMOS process. The modular neural chip might be very suitable for the future implementation of the large-scale neural networks with on-chip learning.
