Abstract

Although associative memory functions realized by CNNs have been widely demonstrated, most of those CNNs models don’t contain external inputs, and rarely have mentioned the implementation of actual circuit. In this work, we demonstrate the associative memory on the basis of three-cell CNNs with external inputs. Both single-associative memory and multi-associative memories can be realized by varying the initial values of the three-cell CNNs. In the physical circuit, different eight patterns can be stored and reconfigured by tuning very few resistances and the pre-stored patterns can be successfully retrieved.
