ABSTRACT:
A neural network device includes internal data input lines, internal data output lines, coupling elements provided at the connections of the internal data input lines and the internal data output lines. The coupling elements couple, with specific programmable coupling strengths, the associated internal data input lines to the associated internal data output lines. In a program mode, the internal data output lines serve as signal lines for transmitting the coupling strength information. Each of the coupling elements includes storage elements, circuitry for writing a signal potential on an associated internal data output line, and circuitry for supplying a stored signal for a storage element into an associated internal data output line.
