Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of artificial intelligence and integrated circuit technology, and more particularly to memristor-based artificial neuron circuits, specifically to a dual-time-constant adaptive neuron circuit with input path control. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the traditional computing paradigm based on the von Neumann architecture is increasingly revealing its fundamental bottlenecks. This architecture relies on the physical separation of storage and computation, and frequent data transfer leads to significant "memory walls" and "power walls," greatly limiting the improvement of computing efficiency. Especially when dealing with brain-like tasks such as pattern recognition, associative memory, and autonomous learning, its efficiency is several orders of magnitude lower than that of the biological brain. The biological brain, with its high parallelism, event-driven nature, in-memory computing, ultra-low power consumption (complex cognition can be completed with about 20 watts), and amazing fault tolerance and learning plasticity, is expected to reshape the computing landscape in the future, empowering many cutting-edge fields such as edge computing, autonomous systems, intelligent sensing, and brain-computer interfaces.
[0003] Current neuromorphic computing systems widely use LIF (Leaky Integrate and Fire) neurons, which have a very simple structure and can accurately describe the electrical behavior of biological neurons. However, the function of these neurons is too singular to simulate the adaptive behavior of biological nervous systems. Real biological neurons have more complex dynamic behaviors; more than 30% of the neurons in the frontal lobe of the human brain possess adaptive functions, and these neurons have been proven to be crucial for improving the computational power of neuromorphic computing systems.
[0004] In adaptive neurons, adaptive control with dual time constants is crucial, requiring an automatic control circuit to regulate the firing frequency of the neuron. Adaptive suppression of the input current is the simplest method for achieving this. However, currently, there is no simple implementation of an adaptive neuron circuit with a dual-time-constant input path control. Summary of the Invention

This circuit can efficiently realize neuron functions by utilizing the dynamic characteristics of volatile memristors, and efficiently realize frequency adaptation by introducing an adaptive circuit structure in the charging path. The control signal has dual-time-constant attenuation characteristics, providing a core functional component for intelligent bionic systems.

It utilizes the dynamic behavior of the volatile threshold resistive memristor to simulate the basic leakage, accumulation, and firing functions of biological neurons, and transmits the fired pulses to the adaptive input path control circuit. On one hand, the magnitude of the neuron's input current can be suppressed by pulling down the control signal, thereby suppressing its continuous firing frequency and achieving the adaptive purpose. On the other hand, the size of the capacitor can also be controlled by the pulses, thereby changing the time constant of the adaptive input path control circuit and altering the rate of change of the control signal.
[0017] Compared with existing single-time-constant adaptive neuron circuits, this invention can significantly improve the accuracy, convergence speed, and long-term memory capacity of LSNN networks.

These advantages make it a promising candidate to break through the "memory wall / power wall" in in-memory computing systems, becoming a core operator for edge intelligence applications such as real-time speech and vision, associative memory, and online learning.

[0020] The specific embodiments and working principles of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] This invention proposes a dual-time-constant adaptive neuron circuit for neuromorphic computing based on a volatile threshold resistive memristor. This circuit simulates the impulse firing function of neurons and, upon detecting its own impulse firing, limits the current magnitude of subsequent input neurons, thereby achieving adaptive neuron firing frequency. Simultaneously, this adaptive input path control circuit can adjust the time constant of the RC circuit based on impulse firing, achieving dual-time-constant and dual-exponential variation functionality. Combining these functions, this invention not only addresses the shortcomings of single-time-constant adaptive neuron circuits, such as limited working memory span, slow training convergence, and high parameter sensitivity, but also overcomes the problems of high circuit resource overhead and insufficient reconfigurability previously reported. Unlike other reported single-time-constant adaptive neuron circuits, the dual-time-constant adaptive neuron circuit based on a volatile threshold resistive memristor input path control of this invention introduces a gated PMOS in the adaptive input path control circuit. When a pulse arrives, a series PMOS transistor temporarily disconnects part of the capacitor from the circuit, causing the time constant of the RC circuit to first be small and then large. This allows for the formation of a "fast-slow" two-stage time constant threshold change and adaptive suppression with a very small number of devices, and achieves a unified encoding function for long short-term memory.

Next, we focus on the control voltage waveform of the single-time-constant adaptive neuron circuit on the right.

Specifically, compared to the dual-time-constant adaptive neuron circuit... V ctrl The circuit exhibits a rapid exponential decrease followed by a slower exponential increase.

V ctrl This will exhibit a single-speed exponential change. Therefore, we can see that, compared to traditional single-time-constant adaptive neuron circuits, dual-time-constant adaptive neuron circuits, by introducing a dual exponential decay mechanism, significantly improve the adaptability of neurons and the performance of LSNN networks. Its fast exponential decay component allows neurons to respond quickly to frequent inputs, while the slow exponential decay component helps maintain memory for longer periods, thus simultaneously addressing both short-term and long-term adaptive needs. Furthermore, the dual-time-constant design makes it more flexible in handling tasks at different time scales and does not require strict time constant matching, enhancing the hardware's tunability and robustness.

[0034] In summary, this invention proposes a novel adaptive neuron circuit with dual time constants for input path control, applicable to neuromorphic computing. It utilizes a volatile threshold resistive memristor as the core device of a leakage integrator circuit to simulate neuron firing behavior. A transistor is introduced at its input to control the conduction state of the input path. When a neuron fires a pulse, the pulse is transmitted to the simple and low-hardware-overhead adaptive input path control circuit, which controls the transistor to reduce its conduction level, thereby limiting the neuron's input current and reducing its continuous firing frequency, thus achieving adaptive behavior. Simultaneously, using only an additional transistor and capacitor, the capacitor is reduced during pulse input and increased after pulse termination, thereby altering the RC circuit's time constant, achieving dual time constants and dual threshold changes. Compared to traditional single-time-constant adaptive neuron circuits, this invention significantly improves neuron adaptability and LSNN network performance, simultaneously addressing both short-term and long-term adaptive needs, enhancing hardware adjustability and robustness. It is well-suited for integration into large-scale edge computing systems, such as intelligent human-computer interaction systems, enabling efficient computation in resource-constrained application scenarios, and shows great promise for future development.
