A neural network not requiring massive changes in configuration when changing the number of stages (number of levels) of the neural network. This neural network is provided with at least one neuron core 10 performing an analog multiply-accumulate operation and a weight-value-supply control unit 30 supplying the weight value to the neuron core 10. This neural network is subjected to control processing by a control-processor unit 40 controlling the supply of the weight value from said weight-value-supply control unit 30 in synchronization with the timing of the analog multiply-accumulate operation of the neuron core 10, and processing the data output from the neuron core 10 at every analog multiply-accumulate operation performed by said neuron core as serial data and/or parallel data.
