Abstract :
This publication presents a digital framework for building up pulse coded neural networks with leaky integrate-and-fire neurons and static synapses as well as dynamic synapses. The system, including a novel communication infrastructure, is mainly focused on ASIC synthesis but also shows a small footprint on Virtex2(Pro) FPGAs. Its bit-serial operation has been verified by simulations.
