Discrete Hardware Neural Networks for Civil Engineering Application, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Joghataie, Abdolreza (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years considerable effort has been made to advance the hardware Artificial Neural Networks where in most cases, many neurons are placed on a VLSI chip. This research attempts to build individual neurons and connect them to build a hybrid of analog and digital neural network. In fact, every neuron is an AVR microcontroller which has a number of inputs and outputs. The data transfer between neurons are done by both analog (PWM- ADC) and digital (UART). In the first part, the necessary voltage source and programmer and how to build are discussed. Next A\D convertor, PWM technique, UART and their usage in this project are demonstrated. After that, the neurons are calibrated to improve...
