Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of neuron circuit design, and in particular to a memristor-coupled neuron circuit based on an N-type local active memristor. Background Art
[0002] Neuromorphic computing uses biomimetic hardware to simulate the biological nervous system, enabling efficient, parallel information processing and storage. Memristor neurons combine the nonlinear properties of memristors with neuronal dynamics, faithfully recreating the learning and memory processes of biological neural systems. The coupling of memristors as synaptic elements to memristor neurons marks a shift in computing architecture from traditional neural networks to one more akin to biological neural systems.
[0003] Locally active memristor-coupled neuron circuits, with their unique nonlinear control properties, can generate rich dynamic behaviors, including complex oscillations. This provides a novel approach for simulating synaptic coupling mechanisms in biological neural networks and building efficient brain-inspired computing hardware. The edge of chaos, a subset of the locally active domain of a memristor, is stable but potentially unstable. Appropriate external perturbations can induce instability, leading to complex nonlinear dynamics. The mutual coupling between nonlinear systems holds significant research value in a wide range of applications.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0031] like Figure 1 The figure shows a memristor coupled neuron circuit based on N-type local active memristor, which consists of three modules: the first neuron module (neuron 1 in the figure): a DC voltage source V in1 , a resistor R 1,, an inductor L1 and a capacitor C1.

DC voltage source V in2 The positive electrode of is connected to one end of the resistor R2, the other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the input end of the inductor L2, the output end of the inductor L2 is connected to the positive electrode of the N-type local active memristor 1, the negative electrode of the N-type local active memristor 2 is connected to the ground, one end of the capacitor C2 is connected to the positive electrode of the N-type local active memristor 2, and the other end of the capacitor C2 is connected to the ground; synaptic module: the positive electrode of the N-type local active memristor 0 is connected to the positive end of the inductor L1, and the negative electrode of the N-type local active memristor 0 is connected to the positive end of the inductor L2;
[0032] The process of establishing the mathematical model of the N-type local active memristor includes the following steps:
[0033] Step 1: According to Chua's expansion theorem, the mathematical model of a general voltage-controlled memristor is:
[0034]
[0035] Where i, v, and x are the current flowing through the memristor, the voltage across the memristor, and the state variable of the memristor, respectively. M (x) is the memetic derivative function, f is the function of the state variable x and the voltage v, α k ,β k ,δ kl ,d k are the expansion coefficients; r1, r2, n1, n2, m1, m2, p1, p2, q1, and q2 represent the lowest and highest powers of the variables, respectively; k and l represent the kth and lth powers of the variables, respectively. f(x, v) is a function of x and v.
[0036] Step 2: The state variable equation of the N-type local active memristor proposed by the present invention is:
[0037]
[0038] Here, k is used to change the rate of change of the state variable of the memristor, thereby affecting the operating frequency range of the memristor.
[0039] Step 3: Let formula (3) equal to 0, when the bias voltage v = V
[0040]
[0041] Step 4: Substitute equation (4) into equation (3), and the current-voltage relationship of the N-type locally active memristor at the stable operating point can be obtained as follows:
[0042]
[0043] Step 5: According to equation (5), a simple mathematical model of the N-type locally active memristor can be obtained as
[0044]
[0045] Using the general circuit analysis method and the mathematical model of the N-type locally active memristor, the state equation of the neuron circuit in the appendix can be obtained Figure 1 in the appendix
[0046]
[0047] where the parameters of the mathematical model are set as k = k' = 1×10 4 , d2 = d2 ' = 1.5×10 -4 , d0 = d0 ' = 2.56×10 -4 , α0 = α0 ' = 8, α1 = α1 ' = -1, and β1 = β1 ' = -3.75. When the DC voltage source is increased from 0V to 3.5V in steps of 0.1V, the DC V-I curve in the appendix is obtained. It is observed that the obtained DC V-I curve exhibits negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristics in a specific region, where 0.85V < V < 2.41V and 0.61mA < I < 4.53mA. Based on the local activity theory, when the DC bias voltage is within the range of (0.85V, 2.41V), the N-type LAM under this parameter may cause oscillations. Figure 2

This further illustrates that the introduction of N-type locally active memristors overcomes the limitations of traditional passive memristor coupling methods and reveals the key role of coupled memristor parameters in the dynamic characteristics of control systems, providing a solid theoretical basis for further research into the complex dynamics of memristive systems. Compared to existing technologies, this neuronal circuit can more accurately simulate the repolarization process of biological neurons and achieve dynamic behavior control that is difficult to trigger with traditional passive methods, making it suitable for use in the field of neuromorphic computing.
