A spiking neuron model described by an asynchronous cellular automaton is introduced. Our model can be implemented as an asynchronous sequential logic circuit and its control parameter is adjustable after implementation in an FPGA. It is shown that our model can reproduce twenty types of dynamic response behaviors observed in biological and other model neurons. It is also shown that our model can reproduce the features of four groups into which biological and other model neurons are classified. In addition, underlying bifurcations of the four groups are analyzed, and the results yield basic guides to the synthesis of our model.
