**Abstract:**

This work presents the first on-chip bio-inspired reservoir computer (RC) prototype implemented in 65nm CMOS. The RC comprises 50 time-multiplexed neurons, and each neuron embeds a strong non-linearity in a feedback loop. The RC applies a non-linear transformation to the input and projects it to high-dimensional space, thus allowing linear separation by a simple logistic regression (LR) layer implemented off-chip. We demonstrate real-time stress detection from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using the RC. The RC achieves 93% classification accuracy, which is 6% better than state-of-the-art digital classifiers. Operating at 40kHz, the prototype consumes 27.5nJ/classification, which is 7x lower than state-of-the-art ECG processors performing similar complexity classification tasks.

**Abstract:**

This work presents the first on-chip, mixed-signal echo state network (ESN) for the early prediction of heart disease. The ESN comprises an input layer, a non-linear projection (NP) layer, and an output layer. Only the output layer of the ESN requires training. The input layer weights are time-invariant and drawn from a static binary random distribution. Thus, the proposed ESN has significantly lower trainable parameters than other non-linear neural networks used for similar prediction tasks. A 65nm prototype is validated with the Cleveland Heart Disease (CHD) dataset. The ESN achieves a mean accuracy of 84.6% over 5 test chips while consuming 7.5nJ energy/inference.

technical paper

The aim of ESSCIRC and ESSDERC is to provide an annual European forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in solid-state devices and circuits.
The level of integration for system-on-chip design is rapidly increasing.

This is made available by advances in semiconductor technology. Therefore, more than ever before, a deeper interaction among technologists, device experts, IC designers, and system designers is necessary. ESSCIRC and ESSDERC are governed by a common Steering Committee and share Plenary Keynote Presentations and Joint Sessions bridging both device and circuit communities.

Highlights:
* 3 joint keynote presentations
* 3 keynote presentations ESSCIRC
* 3 keynote presentations ESSDERC
* Invited papers with overall coverage of all aspects of advanced devices and circuits
* Presentation of IEEE and ESSCIRC/ESSDERC Awards
