Abstract
A method of operating a synapse array includes applying a pulse sequence to a resistor coupled between a row and a column of the synapse array, and in response to the applying the pulse sequence, lowering a conductance level of the resistor. Each pulse of the pulse sequence includes a pulse number, an amplitude, a leading edge, a pulse width, and a trailing edge, the trailing edge having a duration longer than a duration of the leading edge, and applying the pulse sequence includes increasing the pulse number while increasing one of the amplitude, the pulse width, or the trailing edge duration.
