Title:
DATA-PROCESSING DEVICE WITH REPRESENTATION OF VALUES BY TIME INTERVALS BETWEEN EVENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/009543
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a data-processing device including a set of processing nodes (21, 23, 25, 42, 44, 47, 48, 50) and connections between said nodes. Each connection (22, 24, 41, 43, 45, 46, 49, 51) is configured to transmit events sent by a transmitting node to a receiving node. Each node is arranged to vary a respective potential value as a function of events received thereby and to output an event when the potential value reaches a predetermined threshold. At least one input quantity of the data-processing device is represented by a time interval between two events received by at least one node, and at least one output quantity of the data-processing device is represented by a time interval between two events output by at least one node.
