Abstract
A programming method for an artificial neuron network having synapses, each including a single resistive random-access memory having first and second electrodes on either side of an active zone, the method including determining a number N of conductance intervals, where N≥3; for each memory: choosing a conductance interval from amongst the N intervals; a step i) for application of a voltage pulse of a first type between the first and second electrodes, and for reading the conductance value of the memory; if the conductance value does not belong to the previously chosen conductance interval, a sub-step ii) for application of a voltage pulse of a second type between the first and second electrodes, and for reading the conductance value; if the conductance value does not belong to the chosen conductance interval, a step according to which step i) is reiterated, with steps i) and ii) being repeated until the conductance value belongs to the interval.
