Topic: Neuromorphic Computing
Research Field: Information
Coupled oscillators provide a unique computational framework, where the interactions among individual oscillators impact their collective behaviour and produce emergent properties. This characteristic makes coupled oscillators an appealing avenue for advanced computing. In such systems, the primary representation of information is through the frequencies and phases of oscillatory signals, with the signal amplitude potentially playing a secondary role. Moreover, the introduction of time delay among the coupled oscillators makes the system high dimensional as they exhibit dependence on past values, and display rich behaviour.
The aim of the project is to develop scalable coupled oscillator circuits that incorporate adjustable coupling delay, enabling the realization of a variety of dynamical states suitable for computational purposes. The fundamental element used for this work will be a CMOD Ring Oscillator.
Verification of the dynamical states and a proof-of-concept will be demonstrated with a focus on a reduced tape-out process. This comprehensive approach will provide valuable insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed coupled oscillator circuits.
