Spiking neural networks (SNNs) implemented in neuromorphic computing architectures promise a high degree of bio-plausibility and energy efficiency compared to the artificial network (ANN). Thus, SNN-based spiking associative memories are preferred for capacity, area, energy-efficient (NAMs). While most previously published works focused on ANN-based NAM, this work implements full CMOS circuit memristor crossbar-based NAM first time. Instead using any software-based memristive SPICE model or...
