Abstract
Neuromorphic synapse apparatuscomprises a memelementfor storing a synaptic weight, and programming logic. The memelementis adapted to exhibit a desired programming characteristic. The programming logicis responsive to a stimulus prompting update of the synaptic weight for generating a programming signal for programming the memelementto update said weight. The programming logicmay be responsive to an input signal indicating an input weight-change value ΔW, and may be adapted to generate a programming signal dependent on the input weight-change value ΔW. The programming logicis adapted such that the programming signals exploit the programming characteristic of the memelementto provide a desired weight-dependent synaptic update efficacy.
