Abstract
SNNs are one of the fastest-growing fields in neuromorphic computing and hold great potential for the next big revolution in energy efficiency, enabling both brain-like computing and real-time pattern recognition. Among these, the main challenges involve finding the best trade-off between power efficiency and area usage while preserving the accuracy and reliability of synaptic plasticity processes, such as Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity. The SNN architectures based on traditional CMOS technologies suffer from high power consumption and large areas; therefore, they are inappropriate to be deployed in a highly energy-constrained environment. Referring to these challenges, this work proposes an architecture of SNN on pure CMOS, designed and optimized using TSMC's 180 nm technology Cadence tool.
Central to it is the establishment of a selection unit that acquires signals from pre- and post-synaptic neurons and subsequently generates eligibility signals that would help drive synaptic weight modulations
