Abstract

This paper studies pulse-coupled network of digital spiking neurons and its basic dynamics. The neuron is constructed by coupling two shift registers and has a variety of spike-trains which correspond to digital codes through a inter-spike interval (ISI) modulation. The pulsecoupled network has master-slave configuration. All the spike-trains of neurons in the master side are multiplexed additionally and are transmitted to the slave side via single line. Neurons in the slave side are connected by dynamic winner-take-all function. As parameters are selected suitably, the slave can realize demultiplexing and master-slave synchronization is achieved. VHDL simulation is also discussed for FPGA implementation and this digital network is compared with an analog network.
