Abstract
A synaptic circuit according to an embodiment is a circuit in which a weight value changed by learning is set. The synaptic circuit receives a binary input signal from a pre-synaptic neuron circuit and outputs an output signal to a post-synaptic neuron circuit. The synaptic circuit includes a propagation circuit and a control circuit. The propagation circuit supplies, to the post-synaptic neuron circuit, the output signal obtained by adding an influence of the weight value to the input signal. The control circuit stops output of the output signal from the propagation circuit to the post-synaptic neuron circuit when the weight value is smaller than a predetermined reference value.
