Abstract
An analog element for use as a neuron in a recurrent neural network is described, the analog element having memory of a prior layer state and being a continuous time circuit rather than having a discrete clocking interval. The element is characterized and described by the Laplace s-domain operator, as distinct from a digital solution that uses the z-domain operator appropriate for quantized time descriptions. Rather than using an all-pass filter, the analog equivalent of a unit delay in the z-domain, a finite gain integrator, which is a simpler circuit, may be used to provide the delay in the analog s-domain. The resulting circuit may be easily implemented at the transistor level.
