Hardware implementation of an artificial neural network using fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGA's)

In this paper, the authors present a hardware implementation of a fully digital multilayer perceptron artificial neural network using Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Each node is implemented with two XC3042 FPGAs and a 1 K×8 EPROM. Training is done offline on a PC. The authors have tested successfully the performance of the network
