Abstract
An in-memory computation (IMC) circuit includes a memory array formed by memory cells arranged in row-by-column matrix. Computational weights for an IMC operation are stored in the memory cells. Each column includes a bit line connected to the memory cells. A switching circuit is connected between each bit line and a corresponding column output. The switching circuit is controlled to turn on to generate the analog signal dependent on the computational weight and for a time duration controlled by the coefficient data signal. A column combining circuit combines (by addition and/or subtraction) and integrates analog signals at the column outputs of the biasing circuits. The addition/subtraction is dependent on one or more a sign of the coefficient data and a sign of the computational weight and may further implement a binary weighting function.
