Abstract
An integrate and fire electronic neuron is disclosed. Upon receiving an external spike signal, a digital membrane potential of the electronic neuron is updated based on the external spike signal. The electric potential of the membrane is decayed based on a leak rate. Upon the electric potential of the membrane exceeding a threshold, a spike signal is generated.
