Producing spike-timing dependent plasticity in a neuromorphic network utilizing phase change synaptic devices

A neuromorphic network comprising:

• a plurality of electronic neurons;
• and
• a cross-bar array implementing binary stochastic spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), wherein the cross-bar array comprises:
• a plurality of dendrite drivers;
• a plurality of translator drivers;
• a plurality of axon drivers orthogonal to the plurality of dendrite drivers and the plurality of translator drivers;
• and
• a plurality of static random access memory (SRAM) devices interconnecting the plurality of electronic neurons, wherein the plurality of SRAM devices are arranged between the plurality of dendrite drivers, the plurality of translator drivers, and the plurality of axon drivers;
• wherein each electronic neuron of the plurality of electronic neurons is connected to a dendrite driver of the plurality of dendrite drivers, a translator driver of the plurality of translator drivers, and an axon driver of the plurality of axon drivers, and the connected translator driver translates an amount of current from a SRAM device interconnected to the electronic neuron for integration by the electronic neuron.
