Abstract
An artificial neuron including: a membrane capacitor; an input of an external synaptic excitation in current, the membrane capacitor integrating the input current; a negative-feedback impulse circuit, supplied by a power supply at a negative voltage between −200 mV and 0 mV and at a positive voltage between 0 mV and +200 mV, including: a bridge based on pMOS and nMOS transistors in series and linked by a midpoint to the membrane capacitor, the midpoint defining the output of the artificial neuron, at least one delay capacitor between the gate and the source of one of the transistors of the bridge, at least two CMOS inverters between the membrane capacitor and the gates of the transistors of the bridge.
