Abstract
A voltage-mode pulse width modulation (PWM) VLSI implementation of neural networks, comprising: a voltage-pulse converter for converting an input voltage into a neuron-state pulse; a synapse multiplier, including a multiplier cell for multiplying the neuron-state pulse by an input weight voltage and an integral and summation cell for integrating and summing up the multiplied output and producing a first output voltage; and a sigmoid circuit for converting the first output voltage into a second output voltage with the non-linear activation function of neuron.
