Abstract

VLSI systems, basic integrated circuits, and silicon technologies are discussed. Novel circuit and design principles that provide a foundation for the implementation of a wide variety of neural network models in silicon are described. The key issues for a successful integration of neural systems are identified. The realization of algorithms in silicon is examined. Special-purpose hardware for carrying out the activation and transfer function and for the connection elements is discussed. A brief overview of the current silicon technologies is provided.
