New memristive synapse enables online learning in spiking neural networks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an analog memristive synaptic circuit designed for online learning in spiking neural networks (SNNs). This circuit enables gradual conductance updates directly from pre- and post-synaptic spikes, allowing learning to occur during normal network operation without external digital control. Simulations in a 130 nm CMOS technology demonstrated the synapse's ability to adapt conductance and showed unsupervised neuron specialization within a small SNN. AI

IMPACT This development could lead to more efficient and biologically plausible hardware for AI, enabling on-device learning in neuromorphic systems.

    A Memristive Synapse for Online STDP Learning and Inference in SNNs

    This work presents a fully analog memristive synaptic circuit for online spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) learning in spiking neural networks (SNNs). The proposed synapse integrates a local STDP circuit generating gradual timing-dependent conductance updates directly from…
