Spike-Based Hybrid Computers

摘要

This report documents progress made during the period July 1st 2002 to Jan 2003 for the ONR grant 'Spike-Based Hybrid Computers'. It is the fourth and final progress report for this grant. Our progress this year was in three areas: (1) Ultra-Low-Power Time-Based Analog-to-Digital Conversion inspired by neuronal signal representations; (2) An analog integrated circuit memory element for use in learning and adaptive systems, and (3) A predictive comparator with adaptive control that exploits knowledge of the signal to predict it and thus save energy.
