Abstract
Numerous examples of summing circuits for a neural network are disclosed. In one example, a circuit for summing current received from a plurality of synapses in a neural network comprises a voltage source; a load coupled between the voltage source and an output node; a voltage clamp coupled to the output node for maintaining a voltage at the output node; and a plurality of synapses coupled between the output node and ground; wherein an output current flows through the output node, the output current equal to a sum of currents drawn by the plurality of synapses.
