Multiple-Step Quantized Triplet STDP Implemented with Memristive Synapse
As an extension of the pairwise spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) learning rule, the triplet STDP is provided with greater capability in characterizing the synaptic changes in the biological neural cell. In this work, a novel mixed-signal circuit scheme, called multiple-step quantized triplet STDP, is designed to provide a precise and flexible implementation of coactivation triplet STDP learning rule in memristive synapse spiking neural network. The robustness of the circuit is greatly improved through the utilization of pulse-width encoded weight modulation signals. The circuit performance is studied through the simulations which are carried out in MATLAB Simulink Simscape, and assessment is given by comparing the results of circuits with the algorithmic approaches.
