Extended Data Fig. 8: Full hardware design of the memristive part of an RBM layer.
From: A memristive deep belief neural network based on silicon synapses
The memristive part of an RBM layer conducts the forward and backward VMMs as well as the stochastic sampling in the analog domain. The peripheral circuit includes multiplexers, trans-impedance amplifiers, noise current generators, and comparators. No digital-to-analog converters (DACs) or analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are needed in the peripheral circuit. Other parts of the memristive RBM and DBN are all digital circuits.
