Abstract
This application discloses hardware suitable for use in a neural network system. It makes use of Z-technology modules, each containing densely packaged electronic circuitry. The modules provide access planes which are electrically connected to circuitry located on planar surfaces interfacing with such access planes. One such planar surface comprises a resistive feedback network. By combining two Z-technology modules, whose stacked chips are in planes perpendicular to one another, and using switching networks between the two modules, the system provides bidirectional accessibility of each individual electronic element in the neural network to most or all of the other individual electronic elements in the system.
