  • Patent number: 12367385
    Abstract: An analog neuromorphic circuit is disclosed having a first and a second memristor crossbar configuration implemented into an autoencoder. The first memristor crossbar configuration includes resistive memories that provide resistance values to each corresponding input voltage applied to the first memristor crossbar configuration to generate first output voltages that are compressed from the input voltages. The second memristor crossbar includes resistive memories that provide resistance values to each corresponding first output voltage applied to the second memristor crossbar configuration to generate second output voltages that are decompressed from the first output voltages. A controller compares the second output voltages to the input voltages to determine if the second output voltages are within a threshold of the input voltages.

  • Patent number: 12361272
    Abstract: An analog neuromorphic circuit is disclosed, having input voltages applied to a plurality of inputs of the analog neuromorphic circuit. The circuit also includes a plurality of resistive memories that provide a resistance to each input voltage applied to each of the inputs so that each input voltage is multiplied in parallel by the corresponding resistance of each corresponding resistive memory to generate a corresponding current for each input voltage and each corresponding current is added in parallel. The circuit also includes at least one output signal that is generated from each of the input voltages multiplied in parallel with each of the corresponding currents for each of the input voltages added in parallel. The multiplying of each input voltage with each corresponding resistance is executed simultaneously with adding each corresponding current for each input voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240430144
    Abstract: A modulation classification and demodulation system is disclosed having a modulation classifier and a demodulator to classify modulations and then demodulate received signals that deviate during propagation from noise. The modulation classifier classifies each type of modulation for each signal transmitted to the receiver in a sequenced modulation signal into a corresponding modulation class based on a modulation classifier neural network that identifies each type of modulation. The sequenced modulation signal that is received by the modulation classifier is deviated from when initially transmitted by the transmitter based on noise that impacts the sequenced modulation signal as the sequenced modulation signal propagates from the transmitter. The demodulator demodulates the receives signal by decoding each symbol included in the received signal based on the determined modulation class of the received signal.

  • Publication number: 20240256847
    Abstract: An analog neuromorphic circuit is disclosed having resistive memories that provide a resistance to each corresponding input voltage signal. Input voltages are applied to the analog neuromorphic circuit. Each input voltage represents a vector value that is a non-binary value included in a vector that is incorporated into a dot-product operation with weighted matrix values included in a weighted matrix. A controller pairs each resistive memory with another resistive memory. The controller converts each pair of resistance values to a single non-binary value. Each single non-binary value is mapped to a weighted matrix value included in the weighted matrix that is incorporated into the dot-product operation with the vector values included in the vector. The controller generates dot-product operation values from the dot-product operation with the vector and the weighted matrix where each dot-product operation is a non-binary value.

  • Publication number: 20240249132
    Abstract: An analog neuromorphic circuit is discloses input voltages applied to inputs of the analog neuromorphic circuit. Resistor banks that include fixed resistors provide a variable resistance to each input voltage. The variable resistance of each resistor bank is based on an overall resistance value of fixed resistors included in each resistor bank. A controller adjusts the variable resistance of each resistor bank by adjusting the overall resistance value of the fixed resistors to obtain a functionality of the analog neuromorphic circuit. The overall resistance value of each resistor bank is generated from a fixed resistance value of each fixed resistor relative to each other as included in the resistor bank. The controller executes the functionality of the analog neuromorphic circuit from the input voltages multiplied in parallel with corresponding currents of the input voltages added in parallel and the adjusted variable resistance of each resistor bank.

  • Publication number: 20240037380
    Abstract: An analog neuromphric circuit is disclosed having an input layer, a liquid layer, and an output layer each with resistive memory crossbar configurations to identify a temporal signal for a duration of time. The input layer encodes input layer spiking neurons based on encoding signals generated from input voltages applied an input layer resistive memory crossbar configuration. The liquid layer counts each spike generated by liquid layer spiking neurons for the duration of time based on liquid layer signals generated from the input spiking neuron voltages generated from each input layer spiking neurons applied to a liquid layer resistive memory crossbar configuration. The output layer identifies the temporal signal for the duration of time based on output voltages generated from the counting voltages generated from each count of each spike generated by the liquid layer spiking neurons for the duration of time applied to an output resistive memory crossbar configuration.

    Abstract: An analog neuromorphic circuit is disclosed having resistive memories that provide a resistance to an input voltage signal as the input voltage signal propagates through the resistive memories generating a first output voltage signal and to provide a resistance to a first error signal that propagates through the resistive memories generating a second output voltage signal. A comparator generates the first error signal that is representative of a difference between the first output voltage signal and the desired output signal and generates the first error signal so that the first error signal propagates back through the plurality of resistive memories. A resistance adjuster adjusts a resistance value associated with each resistive memory based on the first error signal and the second output voltage signal to decrease the difference between the first output voltage signal and the desired output signal.
