Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a neuromorphic system including a synaptic unit capable of causing a gradual change in resistance for analog information processing, and an operating method therefor. In order to achieve the above object, an aspect of the present invention may provide a neuromorphic system including an input signal unit for generating an input signal, a synapse unit including a plurality of synaptic units that receive a signal of the input signal unit and cause a current to flow according to a set weight, an output signal unit for generating an output signal by receiving a current generated from the synapse unit, and a controller unit for controlling the input signal unit, the synapse unit, and the output signal unit, in which the input signal unit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the synaptic units include a plurality of memory cells that are connected to each other and are each capable of selectively storing a logic state, the plurality of memory cells are arranged in a cross-point structure including an input electrode line and an output electrode line that cross each other to form one or more memory arrays, the output signal unit includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and the controller unit generates an analog input signal through the DAC in the input signal unit, allows the generated analog input signal to be applied to each of the plurality of memory cells included in the synaptic unit so that a current flows, and generates a sum of currents flowing from the plurality of memory cells as the output signal through the ADC in the output signal unit.
