    Abstract: Neuron circuits are provided for spiking neural network apparatus having multiple such neuron circuits interconnected by links, each associated with a respective weight, for transmission of signals between neuron circuits. A neuron circuit includes a digital transmitter for generating trigger signals, indicating a state of the neuron circuit, on outgoing links of the circuit. The state is encoded in a time interval defined by these trigger signals. The neuron circuit includes a digital receiver for detecting such trigger signals on incoming links of the circuit, and digital accumulator logic. In response to detecting a trigger signal on an incoming link, the digital accumulator logic is adapted to generate a weighted signal dependent on the time interval and to accumulate the weighted signals generated from trigger signals on the incoming links to determine the state of the neuron circuit.
