Abstract
Provided is a method of operating a neuron in a neuromorphic system. The method includes evaluating a membrane potential value at a corresponding time when receiving an input spike, time-modulating a synaptic weight of the membrane potential value and converting the time-modulated synaptic weight into a membrane potential value at a reference time, and generating an output spike when the membrane potential value at the reference time exceeds a certain threshold value. The membrane potential value at the reference time is represented by a floating point number including a predetermined bit of exponent and mantissa, and the floating point number includes time information. The method further includes accessing a memory and scanning a neural state variable when a timer is updated to '0' to update the neural state variable to an updated value at a reference time.
