Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus and a method for transmitting and receiving a spike event in a neuromorphic chip. A transmission apparatus of the neuromorphic chip outputs addresses sequentially and repeatedly to an address bus, and when a spike generated by a neuron is detected by the transmission apparatus, outputs a strobe at a first time when one of the addresses being output sequentially and repeatedly becomes identical to an address of the neuron that generated the spike. A receiving apparatus of the neuromorphic chip inputs an address through the address bus at a strobe detection time when the strobe is detected by the receiving apparatus.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A transmission apparatus for transmitting a spike event in a neuromorphic chip comprising the transmission apparatus, the transmission apparatus comprising: an address output unit configured to output addresses sequentially and repeatedly to an address bus; spike detection units configured to detect spikes generated by corresponding neurons; output-time detection units corresponding to the spike detection units, the output-time detection units being conf…
