Analysis and Design of Boolean Associative Memories Made of Resonant Oscillator Arrays

This paper investigates some relevant open issues related to implementing Boolean associative memories using oscillator arrays. At the circuit level, the employment of a class of MEMS-based oscillators which is ideal for large arrays realizations is herein considered. At the system level, the crucial problems of array connectivity and spurious patterns generation are explored in detail. As a result, an enhanced training rule is proposed which is able to simplify the array architecture while improving memory association capability
