Arranging lab exercises. Device physics. Transistor properties below threshold Transistor properties above threshold Static analog circuits. Current mirror, diff pair, transconductance amplifier, bump circuit. Linear systems: Follower integrator, follower differentiator. Small signal analysis I. Voltage amplifier. Phototransduction in biological retinas. Adaptive photoreceptor. Small signal analysis II Winner-take-all circuits Neurons in Silicon Synapses, excitatory and inhibitory Long range communication (Address-Event Representation, AER) Logarithmic photosensors Learning in silicon A pidgin vocabulary Neuromorphic Electronics? What is it all about? 1947 Bardeen and Brattain The context (c) T. Delbruck, Inst. of Neuroinformatics 1

2 A finished wafer S G D D G S holes electrons p + p + n + n + n well p well Constant ~$5/cm 2 Artificial real-world computation (or: How industry thinks of analog) ADC Logic DAC The motivation Natural computation Flies acrobatically Recognizes patterns Navigates Forages Communicates J/op Digital silicon 10-7 to J/op 10 8 to 10 4 times as efficient as digital silicon Pentium 4 Computer vs. Brain Anderson et al At the system level, brains are about 1 million times more power efficient than computers. Why? Cost of elementary operation (turning on transistor or activating synapse) is about the same. It s not some magic about physics. Computer Fast global clock Bit-perfect deterministic logical state Memory distant to computation Fast high precision power hungry ADCs Devices frozen on fabrication Brain Cortex Self-timed 1mm Synapses are stochastic! Computation dances: digital analog digital Memory at computation Low precision adaptive data-driven quantizers Constant adaptation and self-modification (c) T. Delbruck, Inst. of Neuroinformatics 2
