title: A MOS circuit for a nonmonotonic neural network with excellent retrieval capabilities.
abstract: An MOS circuit is proposed for implementing a nonmonotonic transfer characteristic of a neural network. The present research is motivated by the recent results of theoretical studies showing excellent equilibrium properties of networks with the nonmonotonic neural units. These properties include enhancement of storage capacity and complete elimination of noise in associative memory recall. The simple form of the transfer characteristic enables one to implement it with a simple electrical circuit of standard MOS transistors. SPICE simulation results are shown for the behavior of the neural units in associative memory recall.
