Abstract

A modified learning rule is introduced for the implementation of feedforward artificial neural networks with on-chip learning circuitry using standard analog CMOS technology. Learning rule, is modified form the EBP (error back propagation) rule which is one of the well-known learning rules for the feedforward rtificial neural nets(FANNs). The employed MEBP ( modified EBP) rule is well - suited for the hardware implementation of FANNs with on-chip learning rule. As a ynapse circuit, a four-quadrant vector-product linear multiplier is employed, whose input/output signals are given with voltage units. Two $2{\times}2{\times}1$ FANNs are implemented with the learning circuitry. The implemented FANN circuits have been simulatied with learning test patterns using the PSPICE circuit simulator and their results show correct learning functions.
