摘要: We present a digital implementation of the Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) learning rule. The proposed consists an exponential decay (exp-decay) generator array and STDP adaptor array. weight values are stored in memory, w ill send these to exp-decay using spike which duration is modulated according values. will then generate decay, be used by for performing adaption. computational expensive, efficiently implemented novel stochastic approach. This approach was fully analysed characterised. use time multiplexing achieve 8192 (8k) virtual adaptors generators with only one physical respectively. have validated our measurement results balanced excitation experiment. In that experiment, competition (induced STDP) between synapses can establish bimodal distribution synaptic weights: either towards zero (weak) or maximum (strong) Our therefore ideal implementing rule large-scale spiking neural networks running real time.
