A hybrid CMOS/memristive nanoelectronic circuit for programming synaptic weights

چکیده
In this paper a hybrid circuit is presented which comprises nanoelectronic resistive switches based on the electrochemical memory effect (ECM) as well as devices from a standard 40nm-CMOS process. A closed ECM device model, which is based on device physics, was used for simulations allowing for a precise prediction of the expected I-V characteristics. The device is used as a non-volatile and/or programmable synapse in a neuromorphic architecture. Expected performance figures are derived such as write time as well as robustness with regard to variations of supply voltage and timing errors. The results show that ECM cells are prospective devices for hybrid neuromorphic systems.

Implementation of a correlation-based learning rule, SpikeTiming-Dependent-Plasticity (STDP), for asynchronous neuromorphic networks is demonstrated using ‘memristive’ nanodevice. STDP is performed using locally available information at the specific moment of time, for which mapping to crossbar-based CMOS-Nano architectures, such as CMOS-MOLecular (CMOL), is done rather easily. The learning met...
