Memristive devices can be used to emulate spike-driven synaptic plasticity (STDP) by applying specific voltage waveforms at their two terminals. In this work, we investigate STDP [1] with a simplified single pairing of one presynaptic voltage spike and one postsynaptic voltage spike in a BiFeO3 (BFO)-based memristive device [2-4]. We show that the analog resistive switching of BFO memristors allows to shorten the learning time constant of the STDP function to 125 μs. As the power consumption is a major constraint in neuromorphic circuits, the energy-efficient setting process has also be demonstrated for BFO-based artificial synapse with short and simplified spike sequences (4.5 pJ).
