In other approaches, a resistive random access memory (RRAM) is used in some variable-resistance circuits to ensure that a resistance of the memory in the circuit does not change after a power failure of the circuit. However, generally these circuits cannot flexibly control a working status of the RRAM.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Throughout this specification, an RRAM is a device that can make a resistance of the device change between a high resistance and a low resistance correspondingly according to a change in a direction of a potential difference between two ends of the device. The resistance of the device is nonvolatile, that is, the resistance changes only when a voltage passing through the two ends of the device exceeds a specific threshold and remains greater than the specific threshold for a specific time period. It should be noted that, a memory resistor may be considered as a type of RRAM, and the RRAM in this application document represents any device that has the foregoing functions, also including the memory resistor. As shown in FIG. 1, generally an RRAM 102 has two ends, a first end 108 and a second end (designated as port) 116. If a potential difference from the first end 108 to the second end 116 is greater than a threshold voltage of the RRAM 102 within a specific time period, the RRAM 102 presents a low resistance, and correspondingly, if a potential difference from the second end 116 to the first end 108 is greater than a threshold voltage of the RRAM 102 within a specific time period, the RRAM 102 presents a high resistance. Generally, in this case, the first end 108 is referred to as a forward direction input end of the RRAM 102, and the second end 116 is referred to as a reverse direction input end. Generally, the two threshold voltages of the RRAM 102 presented at the low resistance and at the high resistance are close but not exactly equal. For ease of description, in this specification, the two threshold voltages are made equal for simplification and are collectively referred to as a threshold voltage. When a resistance of the RRAM 102 changes, a voltage applied to the two ends of the RRAM 102 needs to be maintained for a specific time period. For an RRAM applied to a practical computing system, a voltage applied to two ends of the RRAM needs to be maintained for a specific quantity of clock cycles of the computing system. The foregoing is physical characteristics of the RRAM 102, and is not described again in the embodiments.

Throughout this specification, a TG is also referred to as a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) TG. As shown in FIG. 4, generally, a TG has four ends. Two ends are an input end and an output end, and the input end and the output end are interchangeable. The other two ends are a positive control end and a negative control end. In this specification, only three ends mentioned in each embodiment are indicated. When a high potential is input to the positive control end, the input end and the output end of the TG are connected. When a low potential is input to the negative control end, the input end and the output end of the TG are connected.

Throughout this specification, a pair of differential signals represents a pair of equal-size and opposite-polarity signals, for example, +5 V and −5 V are a pair of differential signals. In addition, the high potential in this specification means that when the potential is applied to a gate of an NMOS or a positive control end of the TG, the NMOS or the TG can be closed. For example, when a source of the NMOS is grounded, assuming that a potential difference from the gate to the source of the NMOS is greater than +5, the source and a drain of the NMOS are connected, and the high potential for the NMOS is a potential greater than +5. Similarly, the low potential in this specification means that when the potential is applied to a gate of a PMOS or a negative control end of the TG, the PMOS or the TG can be closed. For example, when a source of the PMOS is grounded, assuming that a potential difference from the gate to the source of the PMOS is less than −5, the source of the PMOS is connected to a drain of the PMOS, and the low potential for the PMOS is a potential less than −5.

Device Embodiment 1

Device Embodiment 1 provides a variable-resistance circuit 100. A schematic structural diagram of the circuit 100 is shown in FIG. 1. The circuit 100 includes an RRAM 102, a first switching device 104, and a second switching device 106.

Two ends of the RRAM 102 are a first end 108 and a port 116. The first end 108 is a first end of the circuit 100, and the port 116 is connected to a port 118 of the first switching device 104 and a port 120 of the second switching device 106 separately.

The first switching device 104 further includes a second end 112 and a control end 114. The control end 114 is configured to receive a control signal, and the control signal is used to control the first switching device 104 to be closed or open, that is, connection or disconnection between the second end 112 and the port 118.

The second switching device 106 further includes a third end 110 and a control end 122. The third end 110 is a third end of the circuit 100, the control end 122 is configured to receive a control signal, and the control signal is used to control the second switching device 106 to be closed or open, that is, connection or disconnection between the third end 110 and the port 120.

The control signal received by the control end 114 and the control signal received by the control end 122 are used to control the first switching device 104 to be closed and the second switching device 106 to be open, or to control the first switching device 104 to be open and the second switching device 106 to be closed.

The control signal received by the control end 114 and the control signal received by the control end 122 may be a same potential signal or different potential signals.

Further, when the first switching device 104 is closed, that is, when the second end 112 and the port 118 are connected, the second switching device 106 is open, that is, the third end 110 is disconnected from the port 120. When the second switching device 106 is closed, the first switching device 104 is open. This ensures that the circuit 100 may switches between a first working state and a second working state instead of triggering the two working states simultaneously. In the first working state, the first switching device 104 is closed, the second switching device 106 is open, signals input to the first end 108 and the second end 112 are loaded to two ends of the RRAM 102, and a resistance of the RRAM 102 does not change. In the second working state, the second switching device 106 is closed, the first switching device 104 is open, signals input to the first end 108 and the third end 110 are loaded to the two ends of the RRAM 102, and the resistance of the RRAM 102 changes with potentials input to the first end 108 and the third end 110.

An input potential at the first end 108 is U₁, an input potential at the second end 112 is U₂, and an input potential at the third end 110 is U₃, where |U₁−U₃|>U, |U₁−U₂|<U, and U is a threshold voltage of the RRAM 102. That is, a voltage between the input potential at the first end 108 and the second end 112 is less than the threshold voltage of the RRAM 102 to ensure that the resistance of the RRAM 102 does not change when the circuit 100 is in the first working state, and a voltage between the first end 108 and the third end 110 is greater than the threshold voltage of the RRAM 102 to ensure that when the circuit 100 is in the second working state, a voltage applied to the two ends of the RRAM 102 by the first end 108 and the third end 110 can change the resistance of the RRAM 102.

Optionally, U₃=−U₁, that is, signals input to the first end 108 and the third end 110 are a pair of differential signals, and U₂=0 V.

The following describes in detail multiple possible composition manners of the circuit 100.

It should be noted that, in the following composition manners, the second end 112 in each composition manner is further configured to output a current when the circuit 100 is in the first working state. Generally, in practice, a constant potential is input to the second end 112, and a common potential at the second end 112 is 0 V.

Composition manner 1: As shown in FIG. 2, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are a same voltage signal, and the control end 114 and the control end 122 may be combined into one control end to receive a same control signal. The first switching device 104 is a PMOS, the second switching device 106 is an NMOS, a gate of the PMOS is the control end 114, and a gate of the NMOS is the control end 122.

When the control signal is at a low potential, the first switching device 104 is connected because a characteristic of the PMOS is that the PMOS is connected when a voltage between the gate and a source is less than a specific threshold (assuming that the threshold is U_pgs), and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal is at a high potential, the second switching device 106 is connected because a characteristic of the NMOS is that the NMOS is connected when a voltage between the gate and a source is greater than a specific threshold (assuming that the threshold is U_ngs), and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

It should be noted that, in practice, although both the gate of the NMOS and the gate of the PMOS are connected to control ends, and potentials of the NMOS and the PMOS are determined by input signals at the control ends, a change of a method for connecting the source of the NMOS and a drain of the NMOS or for connecting the source of the PMOS and a drain of the PMOS can still cause a change in input potential requirements of the first end 108, the third end 110, the control end 114, and the control end 122 of the circuit 100. It is assumed that an input potential at the first end 108 is V_in1, and an input potential at the third end 110 is V_in2, V_in1 and V_in2 are equal in size and opposite in polarity, input potentials of the control end 114 and the control end 122 at a low level are V_cl, input potentials at the control end 114 and the control end 122 at a high level are V_ch, and a potential at the second end 112 is V_out.

When the low level V_cl is input to the control end 114 and the control end 122, it needs to ensure that the PMOS is closed, and the NMOS is open. When the high level V_ch is input to the control end 114 and the control end 122, it needs to ensure that the NMOS is closed, and the PMOS is open. If the port 118 is a source, the following needs to be met:

V _cl +|V _in1 |<U _pgs, and   (1)

V _ch −|V _in1 |>U _pgs.   (2)

If the second end 112 is a source, the following needs to be met:

V _cl +|V _out |<U _pgs, and   (3)

V _ch −|V _out |>U _pgs.   (4)

If V_out is 0, in practice, regardless how the source of the PMOS is connected to the drain of the PMOS, potentials of input ends and control ends of the PMOS need to meet only the formula (1) and the formula (2).

In addition, for the NMOS, the following needs to be met:

V _ch −|V _in1 |>U _ngs, and   (5)

V _cl +|V _in1 |<U _ngs.   (6)

In the foregoing composition manner 1, regardless how the source of the NMOS is connected to the drain of the NMOS or how the source of the PMOS is connected to the drain of the PMOS, it needs to ensure that both the two switching devices cannot be in a connected state at the same time under various input conditions. For a potential relationship between an input end and a control end in another composition manner, refer to detailed descriptions in composition manner 1. Details are not repeated in this specification again.

Composition manner 2: As shown in FIG. 3, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are a same voltage signal, and the control end 114 and the control end 122 may be combined into one control end to receive a same control signal. The first switching device 104 is an NMOS, the second switching device 106 is a PMOS, a gate of the NMOS is the control end 114, and a gate of the PMOS is the control end 122.

When the control signal is at a high potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal is at a low potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Composition manner 3: As shown in FIG. 4, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are a same voltage signal, and the control end 114 and the control end 122 may be combined into one control end to receive a same control signal. Both the first switching device 104 and the second switching device 106 are TGs, a positive control end of the first switching device 104 is the control end 114, and a negative control end of the second switching device 106 is the control end 122.

When the control signal is at a high potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal is at a low potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Composition manner 4: As shown in FIG. 5, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are a same voltage signal, and the control end 114 and the control end 122 may be combined into one control end to receive a same control signal. Both the first switching device 104 and the second switching device 106 are TGs, a negative control end of the first switching device 104 is the control end 114, and a positive control end of the second switching device 106 is the control end 122.

When the control signal is at a low potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal is at a high potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Composition manner 5: As shown in FIG. 6, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are different control signals. Both the first switching device 104 and the second switching device 106 are the PMOSs, a gate of the first switching device 104 is the control end 114, and a gate of the second switching device 106 is the control end 122.

When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a low potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a high potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a high potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a low potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Composition manner 6: As shown in FIG. 7, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are different control signals. Both the first switching device 104 and the second switching device 106 are the NMOSs, a gate of the first switching device 104 is the control end 114, and a gate of the second switching device 106 is the control end 122.

When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a high potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a low potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a low potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a high potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Composition manner 7: As shown in FIG. 8, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are different control signals. Both the first switching device 104 and the second switching device 106 are TGs, a positive control end of the first switching device 104 is the control end 114, and a positive control end of the second switching device 106 is the control end 122.

When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a high potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a low potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a low potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a high potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Composition manner 8: As shown in FIG. 9, a control signal received by the control end 114 and a control signal received by the control end 122 are different control signals. Both the first switching device 104 and the second switching device 106 are TGs, a negative control end of the first switching device 104 is the control end 114, and a negative control end of the second switching device 106 is the control end 122.

When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a low potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a high potential, the first switching device 104 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the first working state. When the control signal received by the control end 114 is at a high potential and the control signal received by the control end 122 is at a low potential, the second switching device 106 is closed, and the circuit 100 is in the second working state.

Another composition manner: In the foregoing composition manners 1 to 4, the control end 114 and the control end 122 of the circuit 100 receive a same signal, and therefore the two control ends can be combined in practice. In addition, in composition manners 5 to 8, the control signal received by the control end 114 of the circuit 100 is opposite in polarity to the control signal received by the control end 122 of the circuit 100, and therefore the control end 114 and the control end 122 may receive a control signal separately, or a phase inverter is installed on the control end 114 or the control end 122, and then in composition manners 5 to 8, the control end 114 and the control end 122 of the circuit 100 may also receive a same control signal.

Method Embodiment

This method embodiment provides a signal analysis method. A schematic flowchart of the signal analysis method is shown in FIG. 13. Signal analysis is performed using the signal processing circuit 200 in Device Embodiment 2. The signal processing circuit 200 includes two circuit groups. A schematic structural diagram of the signal processing circuit 200 is shown in FIG. 11. A circuit 202, a circuit 204, and a circuit 206 form a first circuit group, and a circuit 210, a circuit 212, and a circuit 214 form a second circuit group.

Step 402: Connect a first end of each circuit in each circuit group to a third end of the circuit in the circuit group.

As shown in FIG. 11, the processing module 208 controls the circuit 202, the circuit 204, and the circuit 206 using a port 2081, and controls, using a port 2084, second switching devices of the circuit 210, the circuit 212, and the circuit 214 to be closed.

Step 404: Receive two groups of input signals respectively using the two circuit groups, where each group of input signals includes N pairs of differential signals, one potential of each pair of differential signals of a first group of input signals is input through a first end of each circuit in the first circuit group, the other potential of each pair of differential signals of the first group of input signals is input through a third end of each circuit in the first circuit group, one potential of each pair of differential signals of a second group of input signals is input through a first end of each circuit in the second circuit group, and the other potential of each pair of differential signals of the second group of input signals is input through a third end of each circuit in the second circuit group.

A quantity of differential signal pairs included in the first group of input signals is the same as a quantity of circuits 100 included in the first circuit group, a quantity of differential signal pairs included in the second group of input signals is the same as a quantity of circuits 100 included in the second circuit group. For example, in FIG. 11, the first group of input signals and the second group of input signals each include three pairs of differential signals. One potential signal of a pair of differential signals is input through the first end of each circuit in the first circuit group, and the other potential signal of the pair of differential signals is input through a third end of the circuit. For example, if a threshold voltage of an RRAM is 8 V, the first group of input signals includes three pairs of differential signals: +5 V and −5 V, +5 V and −5 V, and −5 V and +5 V, which are input to a port 2021, a port 2022, a port 2041, a port 2042, a port 2061, and a port 2062, respectively. The second group of input signals includes three pairs of differential signals: +5 V and −5 V, −5 V and +5 V, and +5 V and −5 V, which are input to a port 2101, a port 2102, a port 2121, a port 2122, a port 2141, and a port 2142, respectively. In this case, a resistance of an RRAM in each circuit in the first circuit group changes with input differential signals.

Step 406: Connect the first end of each circuit in each circuit group to a second end of the circuit in the circuit group.

As shown in FIG. 11, the processing module 208 connects a first end of each circuit in the first circuit group to a second end of the circuit in the first circuit group using a port 2082 and connects a first end of each circuit in the second circuit group to a second end of the circuit in the second circuit group using a port 2085. For example, in a first circuit group, the port 2021 and the port 2023 are connected, the port 2041 and the port 2043 are connected, and the port 2061 and the port 2063 are connected, and in a second circuit group the port 2101 and a port 2103 are connected, the port 2121 and a port 2123 are connected, and the port 2141 and the port 2143 are connected.

Step 408: Receive a third group of input signals using the two circuit groups, where a potential of the third group of input signals is input through the first end of each circuit in the first circuit group, and a potential of the third group of input signals is input through the first end of each circuit in the second circuit group.

A quantity of signals included in the third group of input signals is the same as a quantity of circuits 100 included in the first circuit group. For example, in FIG. 11, the third group of input signals is +5 V, +5 V, and −5 V, and is input to the first circuit group through the port 2021, the port 2041, and the port 2061, respectively, and are input to the second circuit group through the port 2101, the port 2121, and port 2141, respectively.

Step 410: Obtain, through an output end of the first circuit group, a current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group.

In this case, the first end and the second end of each circuit in the first circuit group are connected. Therefore, after the third group of input signals is input through the first end of each circuit in the first circuit group, the processing module 208 obtains, through the output end of the first circuit group, the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group.

Step 412: Obtain, through an output end of the second circuit group, a current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group.

In this case, the first end and the second end of each circuit in the second circuit group are connected. Therefore, after the third group of input signals is input through the first end of each circuit in the second circuit group, the processing module 208 obtains, through the output end of the second circuit group, the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group.

Step 414: Determine, according to the obtained current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group and the obtained current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group, that the third group of input signals matches the first group of input signals or the third group of input signals matches the second group of input signals.

Optionally, first ends of RRAMs of all circuits in each circuit group are forward direction input ends. That is, the port 2021, the port 2041, the port 2061, the port 2101, the port 2121, and the port 2141 are all forward direction input ends of RRAMs in corresponding circuits. Step 414 further includes determining that the third group of input signals matches a first group of signals if the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group is greater than the current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group, or determining that the third group of input signals matches a second group of signals if the current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group is greater than the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group.

Following the foregoing example, in step 404, when the first end of each circuit in the first circuit group is connected to the third end of the circuit in the first circuit group, the first end of each circuit in the second circuit group is connected to the third end of the circuit in the second circuit group, and all the forward direction input ends of the RRAMs in circuits 100 are input ends of the first group of input signals, RRAMs of the circuit 202, the circuit 204, and the circuit 206 have a low resistance, a low resistance, and a high resistance, respectively, and RRAMs of the circuit 210, the circuit 212, and the circuit 214 have a low resistance, a high resistance, and a low resistance, respectively. It is assumed that a high resistance of an RRAM is 100 ohms, and a low resistance is 1 ohm.

After step 406 and step 406, the third group of input signals includes three signals: +5 V, +5 V, and −5 V, which are input to the first circuit group through the port 2021, the port 2041, and the port 2061, respectively, and are input to the second circuit group through the port 2101, the port 2121, and the port 2141, respectively. Currents output from the port 2023, the port 2043, and the port 2063 are 5 amperes (A), 5 A, and −0.05 A, respectively, and a current input to the processing module 208 through the port 2083 is 9.95 A. Currents output from the port 2103, the port 2123, and the port 2143 are 5 A, 0.05 A, and −5 A, respectively, and a current input to the processing module 208 through the port 2086 is 0.05 A. The current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group is greater than the current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group. Therefore, the third group of input signals matches the first group of input signals. When the signal processing circuit 200 includes at least two circuit groups, after the third group of input signals is input, a circuit group having a largest output current at the output end is determined, and input signals input when a first end of the circuit group is connected to a third end of the circuit group best match the third group of input signals.

Optionally, first ends of RRAMs of all circuits in each circuit group are reverse direction input ends. That is, all the port 2021, the port 2041, the port 2061, the port 2101, the port 2121, and the port 2141 are reverse direction input ends of RRAMs in corresponding circuits. Step 414 further includes determining that the third group of input signals matches a second group of signals if the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group is greater than the current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group, or determining that the third group of input signals matches a first group of signals if the current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group is greater than the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group.

Compared with the foregoing example, if all reverse direction input ends of RRAMs of circuits are input ends of the first group of input signals, it is easy to learn that RRAMs of the circuit 202, the circuit 204, and the circuit 206 have a high resistance, a high resistance, and a low resistance, respectively, and RRAMs of the circuit 210, the circuit 212, and the circuit 214 have a high resistance, a low resistance, and a high resistance, respectively. After the third group of input signals is input to the first circuit group and the second circuit group, currents output from the port 2023, the port 2043, and the port 2063 are 0.05 A, 0.05 A, and −5 A, respectively, and a current input to the processing module 208 through the port 2083 is −4.9 A. Currents output from the port 2103, the port 2123, and the port 2143 are 0.05 A, 5 A, and −0.05 A, respectively, and a current input to the processing module 208 through the port 2086 is 5 A. The current of the third group of input signals passing through the second circuit group is greater than the current of the third group of input signals passing through the first circuit group. Therefore, the third group of input signals matches the first group of input signals. Further, a port 2024, a port 2044, a port 2064, a port 2104, a port 2124, and a port 2144, shown in FIG. 11 is same as the port 2024, the port 2044, and the port 2064 shown in FIG. 10, and a port 2025, a port 2045, a port 2065, a port 2105, a port 2125, and a port 2145, shown in FIG. 11 is same as the port 2025, the port 2045, and the port 2065 shown in FIG. 10.

In the device embodiment, the signal processing circuit 200 implements, under control of the processing module 208, flexible switching between a function of recording an input signal according to a changed resistance of an RRAM caused by the input signal and a function of determining matching between an input signal and a history input signal. In the state in which the input signal matches the history input signal, it is determined, according to a magnitude of a current output from an output end of each circuit group, that the input signal most matches a recorded history input signal in which circuit group. The circuit is flexibly switched and has a simple structure without a complicated logic or feedback loop.

On the basis of Device Embodiment 2, as shown in FIG. 12, this device embodiment provides an optimized signal processing circuit 300 that may be used for signal classification, and describes in detail a process of implementing signal classification using this circuit 300. Specific theoretical analysis is not described in this embodiment.

A first control end and a second control end of the circuit 100 that is in any composition manner in Device Embodiment 1 and that is of the signal processing circuit 300 are combined. That is, the signal processing circuit 300 includes a first circuit group including circuit 302, circuit 304, and circuit 306 and a second circuit group including circuit 310, circuit 312, and circuit 314. Refer to FIG. 10 description for the description of ports of the two circuit groups and the processing module 308. For the circuits 302, 304, 306, 310, 312, and 314 in this case, refer to the composition manners in Device Embodiment 1. In addition, a processing module 308 further includes a port 3085 and a port 3086 which are connected to a control end of a first circuit group and a control end of a second circuit group, respectively.

It is assumed that a first end of any circuit 302, 304, 306, 310, 312, and 314 is a forward direction input end of an RRAM, and there are four groups of signals to be classified: +5 V, +5 V, and −5 V; −5 V, −5 V, and +5 V; +5 V, +5 V, and +5 V; and −5 V, −5 V, and −5 V. A reverse-phase signal is generated first for each potential signal of each group of signals such that each group of signals includes three pairs of differential signals, and then the four groups of signals are: (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V); (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V); (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V); and (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V). The following describes a working process of the circuit 300 in performing signal classification.

Solution 1

Step 1: Connect a first end of each circuit in the first circuit group to a third end of the circuit in the first circuit group and connect a first end of each circuit in the second circuit group to a third end of the circuit in the second circuit group, and input two groups of signals: (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V); and (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V), respectively, where (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V) are a first class of signals, and (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V) are a second class of signals.

Step 2: Connect the first end of each circuit in the first circuit group to a second end of the circuit in the first circuit group and connect the first end of each circuit in the second circuit group to a second end of the circuit in the second circuit group, and input (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V) to both the first circuit group and the second circuit group. If the processing module 308 determines that an output current of the first circuit group is high, it indicates that (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V) are more similar to (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V) are the first class of signals.

Step 3: Connect the first end and the second end of each circuit in the first circuit group and connect the first end and the second end of each circuit in the second circuit group, and input (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V) to both the first circuit group and the second circuit group. If the processing module 308 determines that an output current of the second circuit group is high, it indicates that (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V) are more similar to (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V) are the second class of signals.

In Solution 1, if there are more signals to be classified, step 2 is repeated after step 1 until all of the signals to be classified are classified into the first class of signals or the second class of signals.

Solution 2

Step 1: Step 1 is the same as step 1 of Solution 1.

Step 2: After step 2 of Solution 1 is performed, (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V) are determined as the first class of signals. A port 3085 of the processing module 308 sends a control signal instructing the first end and the third end of each circuit in the first circuit group to connect to each other. In this case, signals (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V) are input to all circuits in the first circuit group, and resistances of RRAMs of all the circuits in the first circuit group change with these input signals (+5 V, −5 V), (+5 V, −5 V), and (+5 V, −5 V).

Step 3: After step 3 of Solution 1 is performed, that is, the first end of each circuit in the first circuit group is connected to the second end of the circuit in the first circuit group and the first end of each circuit in the second circuit group is connected to the second end of the circuit in the second circuit group, and (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V) are input to both the first circuit group and the second circuit group, the processing module 308 determines that an output current of the second circuit group is high, (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V) are the second class of signals. The port 3086 of the processing module 308 sends a control signal instructing the first end and the third end of each circuit in the second circuit group to connect to each other. Resistances of RRAMs of all circuits in the second circuit group change with these input signals (−5 V, +5 V), (−5 V, +5 V), and (−5 V, +5 V).

In Solution 1, if there are more signals to be classified, step 2 is repeated after step 1 until all of the signals to be classified are classified into the first class of signals or the second class of signals.

In comparison with Solution 1, in Solution 2, each time after all input signals are classified, a circuit group corresponding to a class to which the signals belong is updated such that classification of subsequent signals is complete based on latest signals. The signal processing circuit in Solution 2 has stronger adaptability.

According to this device embodiment on the basis of Device Embodiment 2, the processing module 308 performs feedback about a control signal at a control port of a circuit group such that the signal processing circuit 300 can continuously update resistances of RRAMs of circuits when classifying signals, and subsequent classification is determined according to latest classification of input signals. Therefore, the signal processing circuit 300 has greater adaptability to the input signals.

For a part that is not described in detail in an embodiment, reference may be made to related descriptions in other embodiments. It should be noted that the circuit 100 in any composition manner in Device Embodiment 1 is also applied to Device Embodiment 2 and Device Embodiment 3.
