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.
