SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING NEURON CURRENT INTO NEURON CURRENT-BASED TIME PULSES IN AN ANALOG NEURAL MEMORY IN A DEEP LEARNING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK

摘要

Numerous embodiments are disclosed for converting neuron current output by a vector-by-matrix multiplication (VMM) array into neuron current-based time pulses and providing such pulses as an input to another VMM array within an artificial neural network. Numerous embodiments are disclosed for converting the neuron current-based time pulses into analog current or voltage values if an analog input is needed for the VMM array.
