Unsupervised Learning by Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity in Phase Change Memory (PCM) Synapses

We present a novel one-transistor/one-resistor (1T1R) synapse for neuromorphic networks, based on phase change memory (PCM) technology. The synapse is capable of spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP), where gradual potentiation relies on set transition, namely crystallization, in the PCM, while d...
