  • Patent number: 11861489
    Abstract: Disclosed by the disclosure is a convolutional neural network on-chip learning system based on non-volatile memory, comprising: an input module, a convolutional neural network module, an output module and a weight update module. The on-chip learning of the convolutional neural network module implements the synaptic function by using the characteristic of the memristor, and the convolutional kernel value or synaptic weight value is stored in a memristor unit; the input module converts the input signal into the voltage signal; the convolutional neural network module converts the input voltage signal layer-by-layer, and transmits the result to the output module to obtain the output of the network; and the weight update module adjusts the conductance value of the memristor in the convolutional neural network module according to the result of the output module to update the network convolutional kernel value or synaptic weight value.
