HISTORICAL
HIGHLIGHTS
Analog VLSI
Carver Mead and his students pioneered the development
aVLSI technology for use in neural circuits
They developed a silicon retina which electronically
emulated the first 3 layers of the retina
WHAT IS ANN?
• ▪ A neural network can be defined as a model of reasoning based on the human brain.
• ▪ The brain consists of a densely interconnected set of nerve cells (information processing
units) called neurons.
• ▪ Human brain has 10 billion neurons and 60 trillion connections.
• ▪ Application of ANN
• ▪ Robotics
• ▪ Traveling Saleman's Problem
• ▪ Data processing, including filtering, clustering
ANALOGY
Inputs represent synapses
Weights represent the strengths of
synaptic links
Wire presents dendrite secretion
Summation block represents the
addition of the secretions
Output represents axon voltage

MODELL OF ANN
• Neuron will activated then when it has output logic is ‘1’ and in other
• remaining cases it tends to ‘0’.
• ▪ Dendrite of neuron is considered as fan-in for node.
• ▪ axon is considered as fan-out.
• ▪ Node will burst firing patterns and reproduces spiking pulses in ANN
• based combinational circuit.
• ▪ Proposed neuron method is targeted to ISCAS85-C17 benchmark
• circuit.
MODEL OF ANN
▪
• ▪ Fan-Out: Different neuron sharing one
• source neuron which means that a net
• propagates a signal from one source
• to “n” destinations.
• ▪
• Fan-In: The Number of input to the
• gate.
ROPOSED METHOD CONTINUE
▪
• ▪ Proposed design is divided into four major units such as
• – Input unit
• – Firing Unit
• – Control Unit
• – Output Unit
• ▪ There are IN1 & IN2 is referred as input and W1 & W2 referred to as
• dendrites from others neurons along with relation weight and finally
• a clock signal.
ROPOSED METHOD CONTINUE
• ▪ Output Unit : When the output would be fired, the output will have to
• generate a pulse to propagate it to other neuron through the axon.
• ▪ Firing Unit: This unit is determinate by the expositional function as
• f (x) = x × e-x, where x is known as input.
• ▪ Control Unit-Inputs IN1 and IN2 were summed together and as a
• result, pulse is generated.
• ▪ Input Unit-Initial unit consists of input IN1 and IN2 with control clock.
• Timer concept is also used in this unit.
