CMOS-Memristor Dendrite Threshold Circuits
Non-linear neuron models overcomes the limitations of linear binary models of
neurons that have the inability to compute linearly non-separable functions
such as XOR. While several biologically plausible models based on dendrite
thresholds are reported in the previous studies, the hardware implementation of
such non-linear neuron models remain as an open problem. In this paper, we
propose a circuit design for implementing logical dendrite non-linearity
response of dendrite spike and saturation types. The proposed dendrite cells
are used to build XOR circuit and intensity detection circuit that consists of
different combinations of dendrite cells with saturating and spiking responses.
The dendrite cells are designed using a set of memristors, Zener diodes, and
CMOS NOT gates. The circuits are designed, analyzed and verified on circuit
boards.Comment: Zhanbossinov, K. Smagulova, A. P. James, CMOS-Memristor Dendrite
