An analog implementation of a deep machinelearning system for ef cient feature extraction is presented in this work. It features online unsupervised trainability and non-volatile oating-gate analog storage. It utilizes a massively parallel recon gurable current-mode analog architecture to realize ef cient computation, and leverages algorithm-level feedback to provide robustness to circuit imper...
