Leveraging Non-Equilibrium ECRAM Dynamics for Short-Term Plasticity in Neuromorphic Circuits
Researchers have developed a new neuromorphic circuit architecture that leverages the inherent non-equilibrium dynamics of electrochemical random-access memory (ECRAM) devices to implement short-term plasticity (STP). This co-design framework integrates ECRAM synapses with a delay-feedback leaky integrate-and-fire neuron, enabling transient conductance modulation to directly influence neuron excitability and synaptic efficacy. Simulations show this approach can achieve STP behaviors with low energy consumption and enables tunable temporal filtering for spiking neural networks. AI
