Any IC for Neural Network...................?

Any such IC exists ?

how about the speed ?

thanks

Ding,
no ready made dedicated IC exist AFAIR, there
but there are a lot of possibilities to incorporate algorithms for your
application with any MCU or faster with DSP or FPGA.
What you have to do is port the matlab simulation to that special device.
Matlab has also some built-in code generator for certain DSPs. But first I
would do a course with TI or AD about using their DSPs.
These things can do a lot more at the same time, some DSPs even support an
USB-interface, they also handle DMA for adressing external memory if the
built-in memory is not sufficient.
The learning curve is a bit steep in the beginning and you need to be good
at math.
Check out comp.dsp NG, in their FAQ there are good links to everything you
need.

BTW, you are not boki, are you?

ciao Ban

It's not actually a dedicated IC but a "macrocomponent", but you can read
the article on small my "neural stamp" project in Circuit Cellar (#114,
January 2000). This project was also winner of a design contest for which
you will find some informations here :

how about the speed ?

This particular implementation, with 8 inputs/8 outputs, one 12-neurons
hidden layer, had a response time of 50ms

thanks

Friendly yours,
