Traditional neuromorphic chips generally use SRAM array to store the synaptic weights
which would lose data once power down. And the SRAM array can only be accessed through a single address decoding
which is not suitable for synaptic weights update. In this paper
a non-volatile synapse array and neuronal circuits based on 40 nm process combining with embedded phase change memory (ePCM) are proposed. This work would provide an effective
high-speed and low-power solution to store and update the neuron synaptic weights.
