Abstract
A neuromorphic device includes a neuron block, a spike transmission circuit and a spike reception circuit. The neuron block includes a plurality of neurons connected by a plurality of synapses to perform generation and operation of spikes. The spike transmission circuit generates a non-binary transmission signal based on a plurality of transmission spike signals output from the neuron block and transmits the non-binary transmission signal to a transfer channel, where the non-binary transmission signal includes information on transmission spikes included in the plurality of transmission spike signals. The spike reception circuit receives a non-binary reception signal from the transfer channel and generates a plurality of reception spike signals including reception spikes based on the non-binary reception signal to provide the plurality of reception spike signals to the neuron block, where the non-binary reception signal includes information on the reception spikes.
