Electronics, Volume 15, Issue 6

2026 March-2 - 202 articles

Cover Story: This paper reviews major neural encoding strategies for neuromorphic computing and compares their suitability for practical systems. We examine rate coding, Time-to-First-Spike (TTFS), Inter-Spike Interval (ISI), TTFS-Phase, and ISI-Phase methods in terms of information representation, robustness, circuit complexity, and hardware feasibility. Using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), we evaluate these encoders on classic testbenches. The study provides a hardware–software co-design perspective and offers guidance for selecting efficient encoding methods for application-specific neuromorphic platforms. View this paper
