The present paper addresses burst synchronization in out of phase observed in two pulse-coupled resonate-and-fire neuron (RFN) circuits. The RFN circuit is a silicon spiking neuron that has second-order membrane dynamics and exhibits fast subthreshold oscillation of membrane potential. Due to such dynamics, the behavior of the RFN circuit is sensitive to the timing of stimuli. We investigated t...

A time-domain shooting method based coupled device and circuit simulator suitable for accurate simulation of RF circuits is presented. The simulator supports accurate numerical models for diodes, BJTs, and MOSFETs. These combined with the accelerated steady-state method allow accurate and efficient steady-state simulation of RF circuits.

Introduction: Recent advances in neuroscience suggest that spiking neurons in cortical area are classified into two categories: integrators and resonators [1]. These neurons are different in the sensitivity to the timing of stimulus, and therefore show different synchronization properties in pulse-coupled systems. It is interested that the distribution of such neurons are layer-specific and dep...

In this study, a globally coupled system of chaotic circuits with small variations in their oscillation frequencies is investigated. In our previous study, by computer simulations, the generation of clustering and chaotic change of the cluster size are confirmed for five and thirty circuits case. Further, we confirmed that phenomenon from experimental results for five circuits case. In order to...

More frequencies of light can pass between two coupled wavy waveguides than straight ones, something that could allow for more flexible designs optics-based circuits on silicon chips.

chaotic circuits coupled by one resistor. By carrying out that our very simple coupled circuit can exhibit spatiotemporal chaos as well as quasi-synchronizations of chaos in spite of tha t the number of chaotic subcircuit.s is only four. We consider that our model would be good model to clarify mechanism and characteristics of spatiotemporal chaos because it is the simplest real physical system...

due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...
