Memristors are a suitable candidate to design synapse circuits and neuromorphic systems. Due device voltage variability, operating memristive with reliability is big challenge. To enhance the of synapse, RESET failure needs be considered. In this work, we focused on modeling variation. Here, defined as hard due high being applied. The proposed Verilog-A model derived based experimental data collected from 1T1R devices, which fabricated 65 nm CMOS process. system-level simulation, will...

Memristors provide a tempting solution for weighted synapse connections in neuromorphic computing due to their size and non-volatile nature. However, memristors are unreliable the commonly used voltage-pulse-based programming approaches require precisely shaped pulses avoid failure. In this paper, we demonstrate current-limiting-based that provides more predictable analog memory behavior when reading writing memristive synapses. With our proposed design READ current can be optimized by about...

This paper presents a new scalable 8 × single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) based vision sensor with integrated spiking neuromorphic system on chip. The proposed sensing adopts the benefits of SPAD's high quantum efficiency and energy memristive processing. SPAD includes biologically inspired address event representation (AER) readout to generate asynchronous digital events at output reducing computation making it suitable process directly on-chip in faster more efficient way. A novel...

Neuromorphic computing systems have emerged as powerful computation tools in the field of object recognition and control systems. However, training these systems, which are usually characterized by recurrent connectivity, requires abundant computational resources: memory, computation, data, time. Reservoir (RC) framework reduces this high cost focusing effort on only a small subset connections thus allowing to be amenable hardware implementation. Using memristors construct reservoir...
