Neuromorphic device and operating method of the same

Abstract

A neuromorphic device includes a synaptic array, including input lines extending in a first direction and receiving input signals independently from axon circuits connected thereto, bit lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and outputting output signals, cell strings that each include at least two resistive memristor elements and a string select transistor in series between an input line and a bit line, electrode pads stacked and spaced apart from each other between the input and bit lines and connected to the string select transistor and at least two resistive memristor elements, a decoder to apply a string selection signal or a word line selection signal to the electrode pads, and neuron circuits, each connected to one of the bit lines connected to one of the cell strings, summing the output signals, converting and outputting the summed signal when it is more than a predetermined threshold.
