The ambitions to bridge the energy gap between ground based and satellite borne detectors requires to decrease the threshold of Cherenkov telescopes down to several tens of GeV. The images corresponding to such low energies and registered with high angular resolution will lead to rather complicated disconnected images. The standard second-momentum analysis will not be so effective as for images detected with less angular resolution and/or more compact mirrors and high incident energies above 300 GeV. Since the trigger rate at low thresholds can reach 1 MHz, the main tasks for an "intelligent" trigger are signal pattern recognition and background rejection. We propose to use the hardware neurochip SAND/1 (Simple Applicable Neural Device) as fast "intelligent" Pattern Recognition Trigger (PRT). In addition to decrease the registered event rate down to several kHz, the PRT will reject muon and hadron backgrounds online at present only possible off-line. Using a special board of hardware neural accelerators and evolutionary network training strategies we construct a PRT which meets both timing and pattern recognition requirements.
