First Claim
1. A synaptic time-multiplexed (STM) neuromorphic network comprising:
- a neural fabric having nodes and switches to define inter-nodal connections between selected nodes of the neural fabric; and
a neuromorphic controller to form subsets of a set of the inter-nodal connections representing a fully connected neural network, each subset being formed during a different time slot of a plurality of time slots of a time multiplexing cycle of the STM neuromorphic network,wherein in combination, the inter-nodal connection subsets implement the fully connected neural network.

Abstract
A synaptic time-multiplexed (STM) neuromorphic network includes a neural fabric that includes nodes and switches to define inter-nodal connections between selected nodes of the neural fabric. The STM neuromorphic network further includes a neuromorphic controller to form subsets of a set of the inter-nodal connections representing a fully connected neural network. Each subset is formed during a different time slot of a plurality of time slots of a time multiplexing cycle of the STM neuromorphic network. In combination, the inter-nodal connection subsets implement the fully connected neural network. A method of synaptic time multiplexing a neuromorphic network includes providing the neural fabric and forming the subsets of the set of inter-nodal connections.
