    • A fully parallel CCD memory chip of N address lines which detects in just one clock cycle, a perfect match between an input pattern and any of a plurality of stored patterns and also detects in less than (N+1)-comparison cycles and still just one XOR operation, the best matching in case a perfect one does not exist. The chip disclosed herein has a fully parallel architecture in which an input word is compared to all stored words at one time. A preferred embodiment of the invention uses a four phase CCD, wherein each stored word occupies one row of the CCD and each such bit of each such word occupies two cells. Where perfect matches exist, only one comparison clock cycle is needed to compare the input word with all stored words and where there is no perfect match, the best match will be detected on a subsequent comparison pulse. Charge packets represent binary words generated by external pulses that are applied to the chip through data input lines and then are compared to the data applied to the address lines. The sensing is done directly on the cells in a non-destructive sensing process in parallel, rather than at the end of each row.

    • A median circuit operates over a single-clock-cycle to determine the median of the group. Each value is compared with a plurality of other values. One of those other values become the eventual median. The possible median which is closest to all of the elements being compared is taken as the overall closest value and established as the median. Most specifically, this is done by applying the higher voltage of the pair to one end of a capacitor at the same time as a precharge. After the precharge is complete, the lower voltage of the pair is applied to the capacitor. The capacitor acts as a charge pump, lowering its other end by an amount proportional to the distance between the higher voltage of the pair and the lower voltage of the pair. A plurality of the capacitors are connected together, so that the output from the group of cells represents the average capacitors among all elements. The highest group represents the eventual median.

The invention, in its preferred embodiment, utilizes a novel two-transistor implementation which permits each synapse to be built in an integrated circuit chip surface area of only 20 by 20 micrometers. One of the two transistors at each synapse of the present invention comprises a floating gate structure composed of a floating gate electrode and a control electrode which permits learning upon application of incident ultraviolet light.

The second transistor corresponding to each synapse of the present invention provides a novel method for applying a voltage to the control electrode of the aforementioned floating gate structure of the first transistor. The voltage applied to the control electrode and thus the proportionate change in the floating gate electrode of the first transistor may be made proportional to the product of the corresponding input weight change vector element and the corresponding output weight change vector element, by using slope controllable ramp generators and phase controllable pulse generators, only one set of which must be provided for the entire matrix of synapses herein disclosed.

    • Several embodiments of neural processors implemented on a VLSI circuit chip are disclosed, all of which are capable of entering a matrix T into an array of photosensitive devices which may be charge coupled or charge injection devices (CCD or CID). Using CCD's to receive and store the synapses of the matrix T from a spatial light modulator, or other optical means of projecting an array of pixels, semiparallel synchronous operation is achieved. Using CID's, full parallel synchronous operation is achieved. And using phototransistors to receive the array of pixels, full parallel and asynchronous operation is achieved. In the latter case, the source of the pixel matrix must provide the memory necessary for the matrix T. In the other cases, the source of the pixel matrix may be turned off after the matrix T has been entered and stored by the CCD's or CID's.
