  • Abstract

    The concept of learning digital hardware is presented here. A proof of concept of a circuit that can arbitrarily control the current, and thus the switching speed and power consumption, of a digital circuit is given. This control of current is directly tuned by the feedback from the digital circuit itself, thus a learning digital computer. An argument for a completely new paradigm in digital computing follows whereby an entire system of learning digital circuits is proposed.
