Abstract
Method to produce a neuromorphic synapse apparatus comprising a memelement for storing a synaptic weight, and programming logic. The memelement is adapted to exhibit a desired programming characteristic. The programming logic is responsive to a stimulus prompting update of the synaptic weight for generating a programming signal for programming the memelement to update said weight. The programming logic may 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 logic is adapted such that the programming signals exploit the programming characteristic of the memelement to provide a desired weight-dependent synaptic update efficacy.
