Study on Artificial Neuron Embedded into the Dynamically Programmable Analogue Signal Processor

Abstract

This document describes the study of an artificial neuron configuration in a dynamically programmable Analogue Signal Processor (dpASP) device with embedded Field Programmable Analogue Array (FPAA) technology. The linear and non-linear neurons were studied and investigated with respect to device capacity and time of signal processing. A Programmable Analogue Controller (PAC) was used to conduct the research. The in-site investigation shows the features and limitations of the switched capacitor technology as well the advantages of hardware-based analogue signal processing.
