Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate an original methodology to use Conductive-Bridge RAM (CBRAM) devices as binary synapses in low-power stochastic neuromorphic systems. A new circuit architecture, programming strategy and probabilistic STDP learning rule are proposed. We show, for the first time, how the intrinsic CBRAM device switching probability at ultra-low power can be exploited to implement probabilistic learning rule. Two complex applications are demonstrated: real-time auditory (from 64-channel human cochlea) and visual (from mammalian visual cortex) pattern extraction. A high accuracy (audio pattern sensitivity >2, video detection rate >95%) and ultra-low synaptic-power dissipation (audio 0.55μW, video 74.2μW) are obtained.
