A spatial contrast retina with on-chip calibration for neuromorphic spike-based AER vision systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007)
We present a 32 32 pixels contrast retina microchip that provides its output as an address event representation (AER) stream. Spatial contrast is computed as the ratio between pixel photocurrent and a local average between ...

Testing mixed-signal cores: a practical oscillation-based test in an analog macrocell
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2002)
A formal set of design decisions can aid in using oscillation-based test (OBT) for analog subsystems in SoCs. The goal is to offer designers testing options that do not have significant area overhead, performance degradation, ...

On the design and characterization of femtoampere current-mode circuits
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2003)
In this paper, we show and validate a reliable circuit design technique based on source voltage shifting for current-mode signal processing down to femtoamperes. The technique involves specific-current extractors and ...

Exploiting memristance for implementing spike-time-dependent-plasticity in neuromorphic nanotechnology systems
(2009)
In this paper we show that STDP can be implemented using a crossbar memristive array combined with neurons that asynchronously generate spikes of a given shape. An attenuated version of such spikes needs to be sent ...
