  • Patent number: 11423293
    Abstract: Provided is a neuromorphic system using a neuron circuit. The neuromorphic system includes: one or two or more neuron circuits configured to output a firing signal according to signals input from a synapse array; a homeostatic circuit for each neuron circuit; and a global self-controller configured to generate and provide control signals for the neuron circuits by using the firing signal output from the neuron circuits. The neuron circuit includes a neuromorphic device and an output circuit that outputs the firing signal of the neuromorphic device. The global self-controller generates and supplies a reset signal to the neuromorphic device of the fired neuron circuit, and the global self-controller generates and supplies a lateral inhibition signal to the neuromorphic device of the non-fired neuron circuit. The homeostatic circuit alleviates inhibition of other neurons by the neurons with a predominant firing function.
