Abstract:
An analogue CMOS VLSI neural processing chip has been designed and fabricated. The device employs "pulse-stream" neural state signalling and is capable of computing some 360 million synaptic connections per second. In addition to basic characterisation results, the performance of the chip in solving "real-world" problems is also demonstrated. The experience gained from the development of this device has resulted in the design of a second "pulse-stream" chip with improved performance and features. It is anticipated that this second device will be integrated into a standard bus-based system and find early application in robotic control.
