Ultra-Low Static Power Circuits Addressing the Fan-Out Problem of Analog Neuron Circuits in Spiking Neural Networks by Jonghyuk Park, Woo Young Choi

“…Previous solutions to the fan-out problem, including the incorporation of delay-capacitors, inverter chains, or operational amplifiers, require substantial area and consume considerable static power, thereby impeding low-power computing for event-driven operations in SNN. To address this issue, we propose the integration of spike-based voltage buffers (S-VBs) and pull-down pulse width modulation (PD-PWM) circuits. …”
