Abstract
A neuron circuit and an artificial neural network chip are provided. The neuron circuit includes a memristor and an integrator. The memristor generates a pulse train having an oscillation frequency when an applied voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold. The integrator is connected in parallel to the memristor for receiving and accumulating input pulses transmitted by a previous layer network at different times, and driving the memristor to transmit the pulse train to a next layer network when a voltage of the accumulated input pulses exceeds the predetermined threshold.
