In the conventional retinal experiments, it is inevitable to flatten the retinal tissue from its original hemispherical shape to form tight attachment to conventional planar electrode arrays or substrates. In the process of deforming the tissue, the retina is subject to mechanical stress, which may cause abnormal physiological reactions. To solve this problem, we present an innovative hemispherical MEAs with a curvature so that the retinal tissue can closely attach to the electrodes without deformation. The proposed MEAs is composed of non-toxic aluminum (A1) foil and elastomeric PDMS substrate. In addition, the fabrication is performed using a simple and inexpensive process. It is expected to stably record the retinal responses from multiple retinal ganglion cells around the optical disc because of the uniform adhesion while maintaining the original shape of the retina.","PeriodicalId":271345,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Electronics, Information, and Communication (ICEIC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124821980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SNN, unlike ANN, receives a series of binary-coded spike trains as input and updates the membrane potential of the neuron and generates spikes over a period of time specified by the number of spike trains. The function that generates the spike corresponding to the activation function of the ANN is not differentiable, which makes it difficult to apply the backpropagation (BP) algorithm used in the ANN. In order to overcome this problem, studies using numerical approximation of derivatives have been carried out in various ways. However, research on the decay coefficient and the number of spike trains, which are characteristic of SNN neuron, are insufficient. In this paper, we analyze the distribution of spikes and discuss how the decay coefficient characteristics of neurons and the number of spike trains affect network performance.","PeriodicalId":271345,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Electronics, Information, and Communication (ICEIC)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125572907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has advantages in regards to low power consumption and simple structure compared to any other types of ADCs. Various schemes of calibration for nonlinearity issues are reducing capacitor sizes. The main purpose is to design SAR ADC that sustains performance under radiating environments by optimizing sizes of MOSFETs. In the conference presentation, the proposed Successive Approximation Register Analog to Digital Converter size optimizations and layout for robust-to radiation device will be discussed with initial simulation results.
