Abstract
An integrated artificial neuron device includes an input signal node, an output signal node and a reference supply node. An integrator circuit receives and integrates an input signal to produce an integrated signal. A generator circuit receives the integrated signal and, when the integrated signal exceeds a threshold, delivers the output signal. The integrator circuit includes a main capacitor coupled between the input signal node and the reference supply node. The generator circuit includes a main MOS transistor coupled between the input signal node and the output signal node. The main MOS transistor has a gate that is coupled to the output signal node, and a substrate that is mutually coupled to the gate.
