fabricated and tested. The chip set consists of two cascadable chips: a neuron chip and a
synapse chip. Neurons on the neuron chips can be interconnected at random via synapses
on the synapse chips thus implementing an ANN with arbitrary topology. The neuron test
chip contains an array of 4 neurons with well defined hyperbolic tangent activation functions
which is implemented by using parasitic lateral bipolar transistors. The synapse test chip is a …
