A Low Power Integrate and Fire Neuron Circuit for Spiking Neural Network

In this paper, we proposed the current mirror based neuron circuit with the cascode structure added. Adding a cascode structure reduces the current fluctuation due to the membrane potential. And we compared two type of the neuron circuit in comparative operation, using inverters and a comparator. And we proposed the more efficient type of neuron circuit in terms of power consumption.
